Rinse clean brush every time after shave?
Are you supposed to rinse-clean the brush every time after the shave?
On my brush, there's usually good left-over shaving cream. And as expensive as my shaving cream is, I'd like to conserve as much as possible. It doesn't make frugal sense to wash good shaving cream away, and wanted to save some for next time, and perhaps not needing to add as much the following shave. At some point, perhaps weekly or when I notice there's too much old shaving cream, I can thoroughly rinse and clean the brush.
But since I'm new, and this is my first brush, I'm not sure if this will lead to ruining my brush or shortening its life span? Or perhaps I need to clean the shaving cream out of the hair so the brush will dry better and become fluffy?
Thanks,
Jake
Rinse and Clean Brush . . .
My dear Jake:
Benjamin gives sound advice. Rinse and clean after every shave is my motto, as well. Besides, there is something pleasant and refreshing about whipping up lather from start to finish. It is part of the pleasures of wet shaving.
