Underwhelmed by new boar... patience/techniqe required?

[Fido]

My limited experience suggests that boars need more running in time than badgers. The bristles should split in due course (sometimes in two, other times into three) which is when the brush comes into its own. That was the case with a cheap Omega, and as for the Semogue 2009 LE, that's a completely different animal now - feels like a Persian kitten.

I must use mine more!

I read that drying it with a hairdryer whilst rubbing your hand over the ends of the bristles caused the ends to split quicker. It didn't seem to work for mine though......

After reading this thread my brush stroking is not as bizarre as I first thought.!!!!
Mind mine are all Badgers
