Dumb question time: When I clean brushes with brush soap I will swish them around first in one direction, then the other, to work up a lather which is then massaged into the full length of the brush before rinsing. I repeat the process until no more color is evident in the lather and the brush 'squeaks' when rinsed.
By swirling the brushes around in this manner, am I destroying the 'flagging' of the bristles and making it difficult to maintain the shapes? Should I be swiping them back and forth 'with the grain' of the specific brush type rather than swirling them?
