I found this today in an antique store. I have been researching brushes for a few weeks now to upgrade from my VDH boar brush. I really like the VDH, but it sheds at least one hair every time I use it, and it is simply too small for me. So I was really stoked to find this Rubberset for $2.50. Can anyone tell what the bristles are? I made some lather with it after cleaning it out, and it shed a few hairs and a few more broke. I'm gonna keep using it, and if necessary put a new knot in it later. As it is, it made a great lather with a puck of VDH soap. I was pleasantly surprised. Is there anything I should do to help preserve the bristles? I would really like to not have to re-knot it.
