Yesterday I made a fairly decent effort to revive one of my 80265's so I turned my efforts in attempting to revive my other 80265, which in comparison to the other 80265 this one has a denser knot & softer tips but it was a brush I could never really get to hold a lather and had issues with the brush shedding as well.
I soaked the brush in distilled water and gave it a shampoo and test lather and used the brush for today's shave and the brush was better than I expected but it still ate a bit of lather, and at the end of the shave I gave it a comb through and couldn't quite believe how tangled the brush was! It was a brush I used before discovering shaving forums, and I imagine the huge number of tangles might have been down to aggressively mashing the brush to poor lathering technique.
The shave itself was a pretty good one, the ASP worked a lot better in the FHT than the BET I used yesterday.
Anyway chaps, have a good start to the week.
