I posted some brushes for sale and got the usual question, "does it shed?" I fully understand why one would want to know and I offered to take the brush back with a full refund if the buyer isn't satisfied, but I must ask if shedding is really all that common. I have been shaving for a long time, I currently have 33 brushes, and I have bought, and sold or traded, at least another fifty, and I've only had one that I would call a shedder. That brush was still usable, but did let a couple of hairs go everytime I used it. I bought an SV brush once that the seller sold cheap because he thought it was a shedder. I still wonder if he gave up on it too quickly and it was just some loose hairs coming out of a brush that was big and new. I still use it regularly and I will see a hair come loose once in a while, maybe once every five to ten shaves. Have I just been really lucky? Maybe I am easy on brushes. I tend to stick to the tips without pressing the brush into splaying.
