The problem I find with them is even though I can keep a pointed brush going for months without so much as a trim (I wash with brush soap regularly) the wedge brushes die so fast I feel like I need a new one after a month.

I'm not sure if it's the shape, or the size of the ferrule, but they very quickly go from a sharp edge to a fairly useless poof of bristles going in every direction.

Does anyone have any experience with rehabilitating/preserving this style of brush?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/772851/10381422.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/772851/10381422.page GMT Any way to preserve the function of "wedge" brushes?
That was actually rather hard to explain... TL;DR what's worked for me has been trying not to upset the brustle alignment quite as much when cleaning them out. This also applies to cleaning with just water; try not to smush them around too much in the pot, wet them then squeeze out with your fingers.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/772851/10381636.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/772851/10381636.page GMT
