I suspect I will just chuck them out, but dont know what state they are in (as they are yet to arrive) and dont know how long a brush stays good for.

What are your thoughts? And I welcome sensible comments as well as 'Jimbo' comments.

I'm still using the brush my grandfather used when I was a young man (~40 yrs ago). I have used it for over 5 yrs. No telling how long he used it. Still works. It's just a lather applicator....
