    Default Brush Storage For Travel?

    Hi everyone,
    Does anybody have any ideas for a simple way to store a brush while traveling? I'm at work in a motel & when I arrived, my brush (which was in a leather shaving kit) was all deformed out of shape due to all of the other items in the kit falling on top of it. It's too bad I didn't keep the original box. Any solutions? I'd sure hate to have to leave my brush at home & resort to the canned stuff!

    Go to a pharmacy and ask for a perscrition bottle that will fit your brush. They usually will give you one. You can punch some holes in the lid for ventilation.

    Really any kind of a tube that is made of a material that won't absorb the moisture would fit the bill. Just use your imagination.

    I've heard some members in
    the past say that they use
    cat treat cans.

    If you travel a lot the Edwin Jagger travel brush might be a good investment. Also the RX bottle is a great idea to.

    I like the idea of a Rx bottle. That would work, and would be pretty easy to get. You could also pick up a small piece of pvc pipe, cut it to size and get a couple of caps, if your so inclined. It comes in many different diameters. I have lot's of it laying around my garage, just a thought.

    I have an electric shaver, yup, that's right I said it. The last time I traveled, I brought it. It does good, It's no straight, but it does good. I just don't like lugging all that stuff around with me.

    P.S. I just googled "Shave Brush Container" Simpson makes them.
    I think the place is called "Corrado" or something like that.

    Default Brush Storage For Travel?

    Oddly enough I asked myself that question last night when I was packing and started looking around in the bathroom and found a good solution.

    A plastic soap holder. I know it all depends on the size of the brush but in my case it worked flawlessly.
