Yesterday I complained I wasn’t getting a good lather with this brush and hadn’t for a long time after it being amazing for awhile. /u/Zimora suggested a 1:1 vinegar rinse with Dawn. Since I had previously washed it with shampoo I skipped the Dawn and since I like to overdo things I did a 2/3rd vinegar 1/3rd water solution. I let it sit for like 10 minutes because I got distracted by other things.
It worked great! The lather I got was superior in every way. After a few shaves I may do it again to get out residual hardness, and I think I’ll give the rest of my brushes the same treatment considering we had hard water for so long.
