Thread: How much damage boiling water does to brush

Rinse thoroughly with warm water. Shake out excess, hang up to dry for a couple days. Never needed anything else. My first brush (about 35 years old) still is working just fine after the aforementioned service procedure being administered more often than I can remember

If you take the boiling water approach to the extreme http://straightrazorpalace.com/brush...ible-task.html it becomes a way to remove the knot. Even in smaller doses over time it can't be doing the brush a loot of good. Personally I would not place a brush in boiling water at any time.
