I picked up this Omega boar brush tonight at a local shave shop on a whim. I don't know much about it, but it says Pura Setola, Made in Italy. I originally went in there for blades only but when I saw their brush selection I remembered I'd always wanted to try a boar hair for my soaps. I've been using a pure badger up until now. Is there anything special I need to do to prep this brush? Or is it good to go? And is there is anything different as far as drying goes.
