`Iain....how long do you soak your brush?View attachment 96201
Karve Ovelander alu on Karve Bradley alu handle, Treet Platinum, Semogue OC 2012, Kent hard tallow & Nivea 2 in 1.
This is all the fault of @culcreuch- I saw the picture he posted of his Semogue Caravela knot - the original mistura premium badger and boar mix that all others derive from. Then I looked at my OC brush - despite the fact I have used it at least 30 times and I wasn't the original owner - it still looks straight out of the box. I have determined to use this brush continuously until I can see some sign of it breaking in. This may take some time. It is grudgingly starting to splay a little after a dozen recent uses. The more recent iterations of the Caravela are reputed to be less dense than the original! I can't imagine. Saludos - I.
I soak it well under running warm water, and without any shaking out let it stand knot up while I shower - so, 15 minutes? - I.`Iain....how long do you soak your brush?
That should be more than long enough. Pretty much what I doI soak it well under running warm water, and without any shaking out let it stand knot up while I shower - so, 15 minutes? - I.
