If you are in to collecting straights a marvicide jar and solution will prob cost around 25$ looks great in your shave den and serves various other purposes. I clean my brushes in the stuff and it get them nice clean and smelling fresh! YMMV

How do you clean your brushes in it?

I have always been told to use borax and water to clean brushes.

I clean with scrubbing bubbles and a toothbrush. Then for measure wipe down with rubbing alcohol let air dry...
