Thread: My brush smells like, Badger?!!

I've heard that setting it in direct sunlight will help too, but I never have got around to trying that one.

A lot of them smell like a deal animal, because it is. Normally, the smell will wear away over time. Creating lather and shaving helps.

+1 on the borax. I use it about once a year on all my brushes for a good cleaning.

P.S. Rinse the hell out of your brush. Make sure you get all traces of bleach out. Mix baking soda and water and soak the brush. That will neutralize the bleach. (Bleach is an acid, Baking soda is a base)

yes, the bleach can turn your bristles blond and eat them up not to mention some of it getting on your face. Just some good shampoo should do it. Borax works great too.

I believe in hot water and White vinegar soluble
When it dries another bath with a soap/cream with strong fragrance.
