Don't waste your expensive brush on anything but ARKO.
Don't scrub with your brush

Brushes always last longer if you just leave them in the box in which they came. <eg> evil grin 
So we now have permission from Simpson. (breathes a sigh of relief)I suspect those instructions are a historic Simpson legacy designed to minimise warranty claims, and to encourage common sense brush usage. Mark Watterson, the MD of Simpson has stated, right here on B&B, that rotational brush strokes with light pressure, and without mashing the knot, are quite acceptable. It is excessive pressure that is the problem I think, more than the direction of the brush stroke.
Badger Brush and Circular Motion
I recently (a few minutes before making this post) discovered that one should not use a circular motion when applying lather to the face with a badger brush. Paintbrush motion is apparently what’s called for. What about when lathering soap in a bowl? All of the videos that I see show circular...www.badgerandblade.com
Sarcasm aside, does any of their printed literature advise against loading soap from the container? I know of no practical way to load from the container with a painting motion.

Their website has a blog post where they go into some detail as to the correct way to use your brush and soaps or creams.
- Use your secondary, peasant brush to load and scrub with
- Ring the silver bell beside the sink for your butler
- Take the Simpsons™ brush from the proffered silver tray and gently paint your lather
- Sip brandy from the same silver tray...
- Complete your shave
