    Default All hail the Tweezerman -or- I soaked my brush for days

    The only brush I currently have used for almost three years now is a $15 Tweezerman Badger brush. I think the thing has shed less hair than I can count on two hands in all that time.

    Last Friday morning I was soaking it in my scuttle before a shave and instead decided to take the day off and stay scruffy. A nasty cold and sinus infection got the best of me. I was sick all day Saturday and unshaven as well and it wasn't until Sunday morning's shave that I realized that I had left my Tweezerman soaking in the scuttle for 48 hours straight. I thought I would pull it out of the water and watch the bristles fall out in clumps as they did when I soaked a cheap Vulfix brush for only a few hours.

    Instead, much to my great surprise, the Tweezerman was not only completely unscathed, it was the fullest most luxurious brush I could imagine. Plump, full, substantial.

    I love that brush. Although I'll chalk the two day soaking experience to being a fluke that provided an enjoyable shave rather than make such a practice a routine occurrence.

    i once set my wee scot in a cup of water and ended up having to run off without shaving.. didn't remember until about 15 hours later.. the result was one of the most amazing shaves ever.. a very nice mistake.

    Plenty of time for water absorption wasnt there? For a cheapie Tweezermans are hard to beat.

    Mine is the designated travel brush and stays in my travel kit.
