Brush Question

[Bren]

Hey guys! new shaver here had 2 excellent straight razor shaves yesterday and today
I'm just wondering about the best way to maintain the shaving brush? i have a boars head bristle brush

I will usually rinse well, wag the excess water out and hang with the bristles hanging down. My Omega boars hair is still like new after 20 years.

Bren,
I rinse my brush thoroughly in warm water, shake out the excess water, gently squeeze the bristles dry in my barber's towel, and place the brush in the drip stand. That's it. The routine is the same with badger or boar bristle brushes.

thanks guys there's so much information on razors and how to clean them, not really the same for brushes!

Once in awhile I will work some shampoo into the bristles and rinse well. Shaving cream seems to leave a residue that needs to be removed every few weeks. The need for cleaning sneaks up on me. The brush always seems free of build-up, but when I clean it I can feel the diffrece.
