So if I like the feel, I am really saying I like gel tipped bristles? Will the gel eventually wear off?

No. The sensation doesn’t dissipate. It’s irreversible as far as I know.

I did a search and discovered Semogue does not tip their bristles and leave the tips as they are.

Yes, that’s been my impression. Their 2 band Finest hair from about two years ago (my most recent example) is very special. If they can do it, why don’t others?
