Is this normal?
What brand of boar brush?

I soak mine in warm water for 10-20 minutes before lathering.

I'm probably just being paranoid . . .
There are maybe two or three broken bristles on the outsides of the brushes and I found various broken bristles when moving my index finger slowly along the tips of the bristles, but I was really looking for them. I dunno if people would normally notice broken bristles in their brushes if they weren't looking for them.
My boar brushes are Omega and Semogue; each have broken bristles. I soak them for about half an hour before using them.

Probably nothing to be concerned about then. Now if you find a half dozen hairs everytime you use the brush, you might be concerned. I've had a few from the outside but not many, if any from the inside hairs break. I have noticed it more with my Omega brushes over the Semogue brushes, but I personally believe Omega uses a finer boar hair.
