    Default My brush smells like, Badger?!!

    I got a cheap badger brush from Amazon. More specifically Elite men's care products for $15. It smells like the last part of the critter to get over the fence. Is this normal? I have it soaking in a baking soda & water solution, with a cap full of bleach. Any other tips? I thought of vinegar & water, but that is not available. I'm in Afghanistan, and Amazon won't ship that out here for less than $20.

    Not sure I would have used bleach.

    I used oxyclean on one with good results and plain old shampoo on another. They get better smelling with use.

    I saw this and had the same problem. Oxyclean really helped out.

    I found the same with all my horse hair brushes but eventually cleaned up on its own after a few uses.

    As long as it doesn't smell like a Honey Badger you should be fine.

    Eek! A brush from an animal that tough would be more likely to cut our hairs (and faces) than our razors!

    I dip in barbicide for 5 minutes and then do a few lathers without shaving, wash rinse etc. That does it for me.
