just wondering if anybody has found a way to break in a brush faster than just using it. or is it just one of those things where you just have to wait it out.

I've only broken in one boar and I did a variation of the above where after the shave I rinsed the brush dried it a bit on a towel then put left over lather on just the tips and let it dry. I'm not sure how much faster this was than just using the brush.You can leave it lathered up for a few hours, or some guys do overnight, before rinsing it out. If you feel the brush needs more breaking in, lather it up whether you shave with it that day or not. I'll just let it sit full of lather for a bit while I shave and get ready, maybe half hour or so, and then rinse and dry. I'm not crazy about the idea of soaking in water for hours or days.
I may be the minority here, I just use the brush!!
If it is a boar, then I may do a few extra, ‘practice’ lathers.
