Yep I would say it's normal - I just finished brushing my sister's SHORTHAIRED half British Blue. She's 9. Well I say finished - it's not a job that's ever finished, she just has so much hair! You can get armfuls off her and still not be finished. It is worse in summer. Her other cat was even 'worse'. I don't think there's much you can do that you aren't doing - keep it up though, it'll be a lot worse if she gets matted!

I don't have that breed (as far as I know! She was a stray.), but I do have a long-haired cat and have had many different breeds of cats my whole life. Shedding tends to be year round; however, it is definitely heaviest in warm weather.
Brushing several times a day is actually encouraging shedding because you are over-stimulating the follicles and loosening the older fur. Don't brush your cat more than once per day and the shedding will probably actually lessen!
In the meantime, invest in a tape roller that removes pet hair from clothing and furniture. It's a godsend!

Hi, cats and longer haired dogs have 2 coats of hair.
Brushing will only remove dead hair on the upper coat, you'll need a specific brush to get both the lower and upper coats.

I prefer hair which is shoulder length or longer, And also since that men who like ladies are more often then not directly, they like long hair because it looks more feminine, as most men have short hair.
