I have a 830 that has been lathered around 20 times. Just today I've used it and could see how it's got better and also the best thing is how it keeps feeling softer and softer. It's on par with my duke 2 in best now, wonder if/when it will get to that silvertip softness.

The 830, having more bristle density than most Semogue brushes is a little harder to "break"! If you want to speed up the process you could do what we in Portugal call the Teiste method, based on the videos ( we is a member of this forum, perhaps he already posted them here!) he made. They are in spanish, but just watching them you understand the process!
