Vie-Long - Bristle Gap

[vegasvics]

Recently acquired this horse hair brush. As you can see the bristle head is misshaped. Wondering if anyone else has had a similar issue? I think the cause may be a tangle down in the knot. I've tried to comb it out but it doesn't seem to work

Is it completely dry?

My horsehair seems to sometimes do that, but when it's completely dried out again, it is fine.

yes i got this , before but they gave me two more at cost with free shipping -------mine was not as severe, but was noticeable ------if you just got this send it back----------

Is it completely dry?

Yes, completely dry. I haven't used it for a couple of weeks

That looks worse than mine, but my BGS2012 dyed horse seems to tangle up easily. I suppose it has to do with the mane hair vs tail hair: the natural version of the knot is better behaved.

I wonder if it's a horse thing?

I find my horse to be nice and soft at the tips, very nice to use. But it DOES seem to, I don't know, "mush" up in the middle when it's wet in a way my badgers just don't.

Of the eleven V-L horses I own/owned, I've had one which was tangled in the middle and looked like yours. Contact Phil and advise hm of your problem, I'm sure he'll help you resolve this problem satisfactorily.

My 14832 and 14833 Horse Badger is the same within breach. However 13052 Horse isn't. I got these from Juan at giftsandcare btw. The knots itself aren't misshaped though and they're fully functional.

Did you ask the vendor about this phenomenon?
