Thread: Rinsing a brush when done shaving

Rinse, then shake the dickens out of it in the shower, then rinse again. I've been doing this for years and it does the job.

All the water I use for shaving is cold so the brush gets rinsed in cold. When I finish shaving I swirl it in the sink water as the sink drains which gets a good deal of the soap out of the brush and helps keep the sink clean too. Next hold the knot by a circle created with my thumb and fore finger under running cold water and oscillate it to rinse into the core of the knot. A gentle squeeze of the tips, several shakes, a quick stropping of the tips on a towel and hang to dry. So far so good with the boar, badger and synthetic brushes I have. I haven't washed my brushes yet but may do a cleaning using kitchen dish soap like Palmolive in the future.

My badgers get treated as I would my own hair (if I had any) mild shampoo & the best conditioner on the market.
