Is menthol really bad for brushes?

It's funny I've seen this thread today. I finished my first bowl of Proraso soap this morning (lovely stuff!), but noticed a few badger hairs in the soap. They must have been there for a while but I did notice that the hairs I pulled out of the soap were very weak such that I could break a few mm off just with the pressure of my finger. I've no idea how long the'd been in there and I wonder if it's the menthol weakening it or whether a badger hair left in any soap would do the same thing? Having said that my brush is a year old and still working very well indeed.
