Old timer told me I was brushing too fast and missing stuff
I mean I always figured speed was king but after he made me slow down and watch the soot fall I realized I was leaving a good 20% behind. Has anyone else adjusted their technique after a grumpy veteran called them out?

Slow down? In my experience it depends on what you're brushing. If it's something delicate going fast can actually damage it but for most average grime buildup speed seems fine. That old timer might have a point if you're dealing with heavy soot or crusted on stuff though. Your mileage may vary but I'd say don't overthink it unless there's visible leftover mess. Switching up your speed based on the job seems more practical than turning it into a whole life lesson.

Buddy of mine had this pipe fitter tell him the same thing. He rolled his eyes at first but tried it anyway. Said the difference was like wiping a dirty windshield vs a clean one - you don't realize how much crap you're missing til you actually see it come off.
