I'm curious if there is a break in period for Badger brushes, like there is for boar brushes?
My first badger brush was a VDH Luxury Pure Badger, and I remember it being very soft when I took it out of the box. I'm sure it's not as soft as higher grades of badger hair, but it was very nice all the same.
I received my second badger brush today, an Edwin Jagger Best Badger from Italian Barber, and it's significantly more prickly and less soft than the VDH brush that I've been using for a couple weeks. Is this normal? I don't recall my VDH ever being this uncomfortable.
