I recently purchased a Chubby 2 in Best and am really starting to enjoy it as it loosens. I used it this morning with RazoRock Artisan Napoleon's Violet, and it made delectable lather. While I know it is too dense to dry overnight, how long should I allow it to dry between uses?

There are many shavers in the world with only one brush and they use it every day without any problem.
If you dry your brush correctly then there's no reason why you cant use it daily.
My routine:
Squeeze excess lather from the brush ( I actually use the excess to clean the razor)
Rinse brush in running water.
Dunk brush in a glass of cold water, this gets water right into the base and helps prevent build up.
Squeeze excess water and give the brush several sharp flicks. This gets rid of any remaining water and really open up the bloom letting the air circulate.
A gentle wipe against a dry towl and the brush is placed base down on the shelf, (Dont leave the brush in a closed cabinet) and it'll be ready for the next day.

I regulary test knots over many days/weeks at a time and the brush is always ready for daily use.

I'm sure however that you'll have more than brush so if in doubt use on alternate days.
regards, beejay

Thanks Beejay. I liked your idea of using excess lather to clean the razor! +1

All of my Badgers generally dry within 8 hours... Some within a very few hours.
