Thread: Badger up or badger down?

The stand came with a matching razor handle, both in perfect shape. The attendant opened the other vendors case and I saw the big mug with a brush handle sticking out. Turned out to be a boar hair brush. The mug was in perfect shape and then it hit me as I turned it around that it was a match to the stand.
I bought all of it and now have a wonderful cream color, with gold trim, "Barbershop" brand, shaving set up.

That sounds like a neat outfit.Do you perchance have any pics of it?I'd be interested in seeing them if you do.

From a functional stand point the only thing that matters is that you shake it off really well.

The capillary action works against you, and the gravity effect is negligible - I believe I posted the calculation somewhere a while ago. Once the gravity contribution is large enough to be helpful you'll be really screwed by having way too much water in the brush which would dramatically shorten its lifespan.

The dominant cause for drying off is diffusion, so the best is to put it in an air current (I keep mine on the windowsill and the window is usually cracked open).
