Another vote for not soaking here. I soaked my brushes for a few minutes for about a year, then one day I was running late and just gave it a quick 10-15 second rinse under warm tap water.
Guess what? The shave was even better in the backbone department, with no problems with lather. Note that I have always loaded with a wet brush and face lathered. Four years later and the same brushes I started with have not become shedders or experienced broken bristles.
To the people who say you HAVE to soak a boar, or that it makes the experience better, please refrain from speaking globally.
