Actually, ideally, we should be drying them bristle-side down in a
holder that keeps the bristles off the surface below.
Even wiping them with a paper towel, there will still be some residual
moisture to seep into the ferrule. Laying them flat--IMHO--helps them
dry more efficiently. After they're truly dry I store them bristle-side
up in old oatmeal cans.
