I have the 239 all along, but the logo rubbed out lol. I've washed it 300+ times and no shedding. Had it for a while (almost 2 years) and I gotta say it was a good investment! I'm just like you when it comes to purchasing, I research very well and make my money wooorth it. Hehe. I hope you enjoy the 239, I use it every time to apply eyeshadow. And oh, I double cleanse even with my brushes, all of them--but mainly anything I've used with cream-based products like foundation, lipstick/lipgloss, cream shadow, gel liners. These cream-based products don't wash off well with just a brush cleanser cos of the wax and emollients, so I use an oil cleanser for these. Washes off well, no residue left on the brush. Then I cleanse regularly with my homemade brush cleanser (Enkore's recipe).
