    Great information!!
    Thanks again!!
    I hope the post is useful. BTW, the fiberglass brushes are great for cleaning out the pitting or surface rust on old razors before a light coat of Ren wax to keep the pits from rusting again. Just be careful to not scratch the finish.

    Cheers, Steve

    Remember that the tiny bristles break into tiny bits which scratch the skin. Do not work on your lap!!
    Otherwise they are handy for many uses in the shop.

    Absolutely Richard, and I am remiss for not mentioning that. Fiberglass fragments are sharp and can cause a lot of problems if gotten into clothing or especially eyes. Work over a sink, outside, and/or observe good cleanliness procedures.

    Good thing you provided a picher.

    I'm too lazy to insert a picture of a pitcher (of baseballs or liquids), or else I would.

    Read that again

    These are one of the most innocuous tools on the razor bench, they seem safe and innocent easy to use but they are not..

    Hints

    Wear Nitrile gloves
    Use it outside
    Do not work so that the broken bristels can fall and hit your clothes
    Wear glasses
    Do NOT rub your eyes until well after you have shed the gloves and the clothes you are wearing and washed your hands

    The bristles can get under the skin and be carried to the eyes where they are extremely dangerous...

    They work very well just be extra careful using them

    Not sure if there's anything like this thread in the library. I think it'd be nice to get it compiled into a short article.

    Nope, work is never complete. We'll come up with something else for you to do
