A whole new use for my Brush

I don't know about the rest of you guys, and girls, but I wash my face with a facial scrub/cleanser. I've always used my hands or washcloth for this task, but not any more. A week ago I loaded up my silvertip brush with one pump of my face cleanser and began to scrub. Within seconds a wonderful cleansing lather began to build on my face. I continued to scrub with my 28mm brush onto my forehead, temples, nose, cheeks and throat. After a few minutes I rinsed off and lathered again from my loaded brush. When all was done I had a uberclean face with only using a little bit of Cleanser. Awesome for me, but has anyone else stumbled onto this method? If not, it's a breakthru. Try it!
PS I would avoid using a scrub with those gritty sand feeling grains in them. Just the soft bubbly stuff.:gl:
I Hope this helps someone

I made a silvertip brush for my nephew who just turned 15. Not enough whiskers yet to really have to shave every day, but he does use it daily as his face washer!

cool
good goin':tu

When I shave using the mug and puck I use my brush to clean my face after the shave is complete. Soap and all.

In fact, when the puck is running a tad thin and needs to be replaced I toss the old puck in a mug I have in the shower and when I have time I lather up and clean my face.

Right now I don't have any soap in the shower as I have been on a Castle Forbes shaving cream kick recently.

I'll have to give that a try!

Cheers,
Rick

Thanks for sharing!

Do you suggest using an old brush and how do you sterilize it

I would only recommend a new brush as I favor new/near new vs old/needs help. A good brush is suppose to last many many years, but that is if you are taking care of it.

I think using only face safe stuff on the brush, rinsing completely clean of all soaps, and shaking as much moister and then letting air dry is the best method to keeping the brush clean. Sterilizing and sanitizing are two different things. Any harsh cleansing chemicals will damage the Badger Hairs. Don't want to wreck your brush:nono:

:OTFalls Church? Pabst- That's my home town man

I wonder if a boar bristle brush would be too harsh or not?

Yes, I do not recommend a boars brush if you can afford a pure badger brush. I know $50 - $60 will get you a decent brush and $75 - $100 will get you a great brush.

$100+ Status brushes....... although I have no issue with pluncking down big money for top of the line straights, I have problems when it comes to brushes. I guess I would go with a $100 limit since I would need a stand out brush that makes my best pure badger brush perform like a "B" brush.

Good Luck!

i use a synthetic brush to wash my face sometimes, it is kinda firm like boar and it gives a good exfoliating (sp) feel.

Thanks! Tried this last night, finally have a use for my old cheapo Rite-Aid sourced boar brush. Works much like a Loofa, but way cooler, more manly, and you don't have to say "loofa".
With the amount of soap I usually use to wash my face was able to lather up the whole upper body!
