Fumbling about.
I towel dry my brush and then place it in the world's best brush drying stand.
This stand really is the bee's knees.
Happy shaves,

I can't remember the last time I rinsed a brush, let alone worry about how to dry it. Why waste all that soap?
I always wonder why this question is asked so often here.
Honestly, I do not care how you dry your brush (upside, downside, shaken, stirred....brushed over a towel up, or down...), just make sure you do not put a wet/moist brush into an enclosed space (cabinet, and container). Just wash the soap and cream out thoroughly, this might be the most important part as left over residues will break down the hair. Believe me, I have removed many shedding knots from guys who tell me they do rinse their brushes out very well.....cutting away the hairs, I often see a lot of dried soap/cream residue.
Anthrax.I might not believe you if I didn’t see it first hand. I replaced my grandpas brush with a B&B boar back in 2015 for him. And he treated the new one exactly like the old one. Doesn’t look like he ever rinsed it and you can see the soap stuck all over it. And stuck in the old one still. It looks green too, maybe it’s mold?

My granddad did this too. But in my post I was more referring to badger brushes, that is where I have my experience from with soap filled brush knots. Boar bristles are maybe much more resilient to the soap/cream.I might not believe you if I didn’t see it first hand. I replaced my grandpas brush with a B&B boar back in 2015 for him.
