Thread: Seraphim's brush bristle enhancer (patents pending)

I have assembled a 7-day set of these rubber bands (14 bands in all) and am interested in seeing if this improves the shelf life of the rubber bands after being exposed to lather components every morning (save the occasional Sunday.) I also experimented with several different colors of rubber bands, and tried to press jimps into one of them for easier removal from the brush, but they just kept bouncing out until I pressed so hard that it snapped in two. Maybe I should try sanding them in?

Anyway, your simple idea has improved my morning shaves ever so slightly - thanks!

Didn't the old barber's manuals also discuss allowing your rubber bands at least 24 hours of rest to fully regain their elasticity?

7 day set of rubber bands!

Dude, you are living large!

I'm trying to get ideas for custom designs

The day my brush needs a rubber band bra, is the day that I start growing a beard!

What bra? That's a smiley face

For the money you guys are charging I think I'll wait and get a used one on ebay. I'm sure I'll see one soon enough.
