If your old brush is still performing well I would do nothing, on the other hand you could if you wanted to get it re knotted and it would be like new.Not intending on throwing my brush away any time soon, but I did get a new BK8 for Christmas which I have barely taken out of the box.
My previous brush has been with me around 12 years, which is a record by my standards I might add.
It is losing a few hairs here and there (it's another badger, also by Kent). You could say it is looking a little thin around the centre, although nothing compared to its owner!
What could I do with this older brush? When should it be thrown or 'retired'?

If it's not broken don't fix it.
If you look in the brush section of this fourm or look on YouTube you will see that re knotting a brush is not very hard to do, but if your brush is just dropping a few hairs it probably still has lots of life left in it, most of us lose a few hair's with age..Nothing to worry too much about.Hmmm is re knotting something that can be done easily?
Seriously like the "if it's not broken, don't fix it" saying. I know how things could end up...!!
Yes indeed, the way you use and care for your brush will affect it's shelf life and how many brushes you have, I have ten or so and therefore all will last longer because of lack of continuous use.Interesting topic,is there a shelf life so to speak for a brush? Obviously it depends how you use it and not burrow through a triple milled soap like your trying to get to the earths core,but in general i suppose it would come down to use and manufacturer,but still,every time i pick one of my brushes up it's never occurred to me.

I was just wondering, when could I say it really is finished and cannot be used any more?
