Yes, Michele, sable brushes should never be washed with soap and water, or any brush cleaner. They shorten the life of the brush (already somewhat brief when sable is used with oil paint). Gamsol residue will not affect the brush (make sure the last rinse uses clean solution). Once the brush is dry, you can gently stroke the hair to get it ready to paint.
