I was curious about something. I was generously PIF'd a silvertip to get my shaving journey started and it feels great on my face. One thing I have noticed is that when I am applying the lather to my face and/or face lathering, the brush does not hold its shape, which seems to make the application/lathering a bit more difficult. Is this normal?
Should brush hold its shape?

It's common. Usually the denser the brush knot the less the splay and vice versa. Depending on brand, silvertips can be floppy.
You probably want a brush with more backbone. I also looking for one and posted this:

Depends on the brush. As mentioned above, ones with backbone and density will hold their shape better.

I don't use silvertip anymore but when I did, I just used lighter pressure and caressed my soap puck and face with it.
Treat it like a woman and not your sibling. In other words treat it gently and lovingly and not rough.
Choke up on the hair like you would a bat if you need more backbone, but use light pressure.
strictly my opinion.

Thanks for the advice marty. I tend to be a bit heavy handed with everything. I will try choking up and using lighter pressure.

Out of curiosity, what sort of brush do you use now?

Brushes are like suits, the finer quality ones are more delicate.
