Thread: Any ideas how to remove menthol from a brush?

Worst case, an oz of white vinegar, in a cup of water and soak for 15-20 mins, then shampoo and rinse. Vinegar will loosen the soap up and shampoo will remove it. Hand lather as said.

I bought a nice old Badger brush that had a lot of soap in it and was very stiff.

I soaked it in vinegar and shampooed several times and shaved with it for a couple of weeks before it all came out. Now it is very soft and quite a lather maker.

Don’t know what soap the original owner used it was very strong, but it did smell good.

When I finish lathering my last pass, I do 1 lather passes, I soak the brush in clean hot water while I do my ATG and water pass.
