Do you squeeze your brush bristles?

Currently a shake
I usually squeeze my brush bristles when I pull it out of my soaking mug. Depnding on the soap I am using I may also shake out the bristles.
+1 My experience exactly. It also helps to really soak some soaps like Edwin Jagger.
No I usually just give it a shake to get some of the extra water out.
For me, it depends on how much water I want to get rid of out of the brush. For most creams, I'll give it a few quick shakes, but for soaps I'll shake and squeeze the brush to get it a little drier.
I shake. But when I rinse the brush after the shave I squeeze excess water out and shake.
Just a shake before I load it. When I'm rinsing it out, I do give a light squeeze to make sure there's no more lather left in the brush.
Like I was choking a weasel....

Squeezing seems a tad rude.
I just give it two short shakes.

After a thorough wetting I give it two good shakes and it seems to be ready for use. At most, I only need to add a drop or two of water to the mug.
I usually just shake the water off of mine. The only time I squeeze the bristles is to get the last run of cream stuck in the brush and after the final rinse.
No, however,for the final pass I squeeze the remaining soap out of the brush and after rinsing my brush post shave I squeeze out the water.

Nope. Shake only regardless of soap.
A little shake works for me
Let it stop dripping and give it one or two good shakes. Anything more and your just playing with it...... LOL
after rinsing the soap from my brush post-shave, i give the bristles a gentle squeeze with a towel.
+1 jochums,then I brush it on my dry towel & shake it several times!
Shakes.
The only time I squeeze the brush is at the end of lathering for my third pass, I gently squeeze the last of the lather from the brush and then paint that on. I suspect the less brush squeezing the longer it'll last.
