Thread: i hate my bodyshop brush

thanks for the replies gentlemen.. i only paid $9 for the thing.. so i didn't really want to put to much effort into it.. i suppose i'll just give it to one of the kids so he can play with it while i shave.

that is a fine solution.
Another is that once in two year lathering/ cleaning of a strop.

If there is a need to break it in spend some time with a puck
of Williams or other super inexpensive soap.

i'm a feather artist club guy.. so the strop cleaning isn't an option.. would going nuts on a puck of williams really give it some bloom? anyone else have this brush and broken it in?

Going nuts on the top half of a puck of Williams
is often a very productive couple of hours on successive
Saturday afternoons. If you can make a good lather with
Williams almost all of the other soaps will get easy.

I do not know your brush so I can only guess that
breaking it in is possible. It is worth a try.

AND Williams is a better than OK soap....

I have one and IMO is the best synthetic for under $10 anywhere.
