    Default My Travel Brush

    I've been looking for a low cost travel brush for when I'm on the road. My regular everyday brush is a $13 Tweezerman that I got on Amazon. I have been totally satisfied with this brush. It seemed kind of stupid to spend more on a travel brush than I spent on my everyday brush, so I simply bought another Tweezerman. I needed some kind of plastic case to carry it in. I found the perfect solution at the dollar store. I bought a bottle of "Supreme Tradition" oregano leaves for $1, dumped the contents, removed the label and washed it out. It is the perfect size to hold he brush, and has nice big perforations in the top to allow the brush to dry.

    Sounds like a smart way to do it!
    I have just been carrying it it with the rest of my stuff, and it gets a bit flat and weird from that.

    Excellent idea!

    My everyday brush is a small Vulfix - when I travel with it I've found that it fits perfectly inside a hard cardboard tube (similar to the shipping tubes) which protect the bristles. If I know that it won't have time to let it dry, I either skip the shave or use a brushless cream (and my DE which also goes along with me).

    Cheers,

    Like the idea for the travel "tube" from the dollar store. I'll have to make a stop to get some oregano!

    Great idea. I'm a Tweezerman fan as well. Mine has served me well day in day out for well over a year and a half with no signs of deterioration

    Great idea, I used a toilet paper roll when I was in need and had nothing else to use. Not very rigid but it worked.
