I have an old brush that I've been using for that 10 years to apply oil to my ways of my lathe, sweep off chips, etc. Note that I've only SR shaving since Novemberish.
This morning I was out at the lathe before work, and realized that the brush I've been using is a badger hair shaving brush. No idea where I got but....wow....:banghead:
I thought you were going to say you used that brush to make lather and shave.
No, but should have been my first brush!
Works for me
