Brush drying competition

I'm currently doing the same procedure for two boar brushes - a Semogue 620 (quite small - I call it piglet) and an Omega 49 (the big boar). Quite interesting so far - looking at the (combined) charts so far, the results won't be what I expected.
Temperature and humidity are the same as the last experiment - 25 degrees and normal :D

The denser (not the bigger) knot should win IMO.
 
A great experiment and as I thought we do need more than a couple of brushes in rotation to prolong the life of our natural hair brushes, which is great for me because I prefer natrual hair brushes to the unnartrural ones (Synthitic) :) P.
 
24 hours, disappointed, with only 1,26g water left after initial 12 hours last night I was sure boar would be bone dry and ready for a new shave this morning but no, still got 0,72g left, meaning only about half a gram difference in the last 12 hours :-( (need to retest this brush)

This is why I think air breeze helps. It regulates the humidity around the knot to be at room condition instead the water vapor creating a small microclimate.
 
36 hours Zenith boar: still not dry, still 0,32g to go
24 hours Vigshaving badger: still not dry, still 0,29g to go

0,3g or 0,3ml is not a lot would be interesting to know how much water is considered enough by mould and bacteria to thrive.

Just slightly damp and warm, mould and bacteria will get a foot hold, to be safe your brush needs to be DRY. :) P.
