I currently have one synthetic brush (RR Snowman) that sees use at least once per day. I use soap sticks and face lather, splaying the brush on my face, then rinse it thoroughly and give it a few good shakes to get most of the water out of it. It then goes straight into its holder - hanging bristles down - to dry as much as it can before the next use.
I saw a post recently suggesting that shaking a brush regularly could eventually cause bristles to break off. I think this was in connection to natural-bristle brushes but I wonder if it also applies to synthetics? And over and above that, is there anything experienced synthetic users would recommend to keep a brush in good shape?
