Vie Long (badger) brush still sheds?

Hi!
I was in Spain in June, and among other things I bought myself a Vie Long brush, and according to the accompanying tag it is a badger brush.

It looks pretty much exactly like this:

(except mine said it was a badger brush, whereas this picture is supposedly of a horse hair brush)

My problem is that still, after 3 months of usage (usually ~3 times a week) it still sheds a ton of hair every time I use it! I've counted at least 10-15 hairs while making lather and applying it for the first pass. This has been regular for at least the last 2 months, and doesn't seem to be slowing down, so naturally I'm getting concerned! I know some shedding is normal, but is this normal? Will it stop? It's pretty annoying to pick out hairs all the time, and I don't want to ruin my brush!

I love this brush, but I am concerned about all the shedding. I bought it at an "El Corte Ingles" store.

Thanks for any advice!
 
Give it a quick soak in water, shake & gently squeeze out excess water, then gently comb the knot from the base to tips, using the fine teeth on the comb. Look at the bottom of this thread, it lists similar Threads to the Topic posted.
