Brush Sterilization
I just bought an antique badger shave brush and am wondering if I should sterilize it before I use it and if so, how should I go about it. I was thinking about using a very weak solution of bleach and hot water. Thanks.

A lot of guys use borax. I wouldn't use bleach. Here is a video from em's place with instructions on brush cleaning.
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

Don't use bleach, you'll wreck the brush hair. Sterilize or Sanitize? ask yourself which one do you really need. I suggest Jimmy's advice, Borax or dish soap soak in hot water.

Gentlemen:
I use dish washing soap and hot water, that's all. I let the brush soak for a while and then wash it thoroughly by hand, reaching into the hairs gently with the fingers and giving it a scrubbing. It seems to work. Soap and water often work wonders.
Regards,

I would give it a good wash with some anti bacterial hand soap. That should do the trick.
