IMAGES AT THE BOTTOM.
And in advance, i am sorry for what could be crowned as the week's most messy post.
TOO LONG DIDNT READ:
water repellent properties at the base? Water getting caught?
Simvertip feels impossible to clean.
NO NOT TOO LONG I LOVE TO READ:
My first silvertip. Had the money and wanted to see how it would work compared to regular badger.
I lather in a bowl. First time was extremely astonishing, the way it created that lather sodamn quick and in such ammounts, by just resting on its own weight.
But i quickly realized some of the outer hairs acted strange. 10-15 hairs grouping up, pointing steaight sideways and not acting in unison with the rest of the knot.
After shave i noticed the whole knot, from the base/handle and 7mm towards thw dark section, did not get wet what so ever. A few soaks and it remained. Extremely hydrophobic. Covering itself in pockets of air.
I feared something would take damage in the long run and i guess its starting now?
Hairs are shedding, but not getting out of thebrush. So they stay in there tangling up other hairs untill they eventually get combed out and seriously being as limp as an overboiled glass noodle.
I kept inspecting the hairs every time i used it and afterwards, because the scewnt of prosuct was so extremely strong. Now it smells of very concentrated captain fawcett shaving cream while dry, and vinegar when wet.
And so it appeared, that damn residue.
Residue that is impossible to remove by running water.
I tried dish soap
I tried vinegar. Nothing.
While its wet, if i touch it with fingertips, my fingers get this sensation you get if you touched some atrong adhesive 5 hours ago and still feel that anti-slippery coating.
Now its taking longer to dry, more than a day to remove reach its original weight.
(25 degrees and below 30 RH in bathroom)
While just trying to seperate the lowest part of the knot to check for captured moisture, i felt something was a bit off with the whole area. So i took a chance and twisted the knot. There its confirmed,i have a replacable-knot-model, cool. But the knot was so loose i used no force whar so ever to untwist it. And i found water below. And even more water below there.
Should this design really let water/moisrure enter while not letting it escape?
Should i contact muhle? Or is this a classic consumer error?This brush gave me a headache just one month in.
Adding a picrure of below the epoxy, some strange wavey patterns on one side.
Also adding demonstration of maximum pressure im using if that would be of questioning.
Oh, and i dont rinse above 40 celcius. Got a neat little thermometer in the kit.
