Yes, this is what seems to be the case. Interesting that my B&B boar broke in the same way. Must be something about my lathering habits, daily use, water, etc.
That's normal, all boar brushes eventually wear off with use.

That's what I was trying to determine in this thread; How boars break in Posts 1 and 5. To my recollection you are the first person to confirm my thoughts.That's normal, all boar brushes eventually wear off with use.

No, there is evidence that the bristles split and then one side of the split broke off on most. The brush tips are quite soft.Cut or trimmed boar bristles will not split to my knowledge. On some brushes the shape is achieved by trimming the bristle, your might be one. I only have Omega boar brushes and they all split nicely without a lot of effort. A boar that does not break in with splits ends is not any good, at least to me.
I have tried it on a cheap Omega and Omega 20102. Cheap omega was a non starter and remained one in spite of attempts to induce split end by rubbing on a wet type sandpaper. 20102 had too tall a loft and experimentally I cut it down. This brush too did not respond to sandpaper abrasion.Anybody tried breaking a brush in on sandpaper?
