The only bit of info I found regarding the bleaching process was that it softens the boar bristles, but it raises several questions in my mind:
If a boar brush is dyed to make it look like a two-band brush, is it possible that the brush was bleached first?...or are all dyed boar brushes unbleached?
Second, how do you know if a brush (dyed or not) has been bleached by the manufacturer? I looked at the description of at least 10-12 Omega boar brushes at one website, and not one indicated whether the brush was bleached or unbleached. So, how does a buyer know what they are buying?
...and finally does it really matter?
