I wonder if I'm the only one that does this. When I soak my brush (Omega 10051 boar, plastic handle) I squeeze the submerged bristles to expel any excess air. If I just place the brush in a mug or the sink it doesn't seem to absorb much water. The bristles are quite nicely broken in but a couple of cracks have developed in the handle, one on the ring. I suspect that I have done something wrong. It is my first and, apart from an incredibly prickly 20+ year old one of indeterminate hair, only brush so I have little to compare it with. So far I have read that many people just soak the brush half way up, some suggest that a boar needs soaking to the base of the knot to prevent bristles breaking off, while Omega suggets just wetting the brush. Any and all opinions welcome.
