    Default Glycerin for Brush Cleaning

    Works great, just a spray or two on the brush and scrub the palm of my hand to create some bubbly suds and rinse. Cleans the hairs really well and seems to soften them up. I figured if its safe for makeup brushes( which I believe some are also animal hair) it safe to use on my brushes, and haven't had any problems yet. Really does a great job... And not more than a couple dollars I believe. Post photo of it and name as soon as I get off my shift.

    I got my glycerin from boots.
    Its in the isle with the cough medicines and was £1.50 for a bottle.

    I use it in my lather though... not on my brush.

    I use White vinegar to clean my brushes
    A used toothbrush can help to "fend off" any residues of soap from the bottom of knot.

    I find that a good shampoo/conditioner once a year keeps my brushes in top shape. aside from that, making sure to get all visible soap/cream and suds out of the knot after each shave....there should be some vids on youtube about brush care as well.

    Based on that ... Using it on brushes might not be a good idea.
    Based on the reviews I have read of vegetable glycerin, some women use a 1/2 water and 1/2 glycerin mix and spray it on their hair for extra smoothness and shine. It works for them.

    -----------------------

    As for cleaning a badger brush, I saw an online video at a cleaning site where the woman suggested using a bit of glycerin, after cleaning the brush, to condition the brush hairs.

    I clean my badger brush about every 6 months with Dawn dish soap and follow it with a soak in a water and white vinegar mix to remove deep build up. The brush feels softer after every cleaning.
