Brush care question
I have a silver tip badger hair brush, and it stays wet for a couple of days. I read online that it needs to be dry or it may get funky, like mold or smelly.
I have it hanging in a stand hair facing down.
Is this something I should worry about?
Thanks! :)

I would move it to a place where it can dry in a few hours.

Thanks for the quick response! Perhaps an area with more circulation is in order. :)

If the brush is taking that long to dry I would also suggest you move your razors out of there too. You might end up with rusty blades

Yes i am a little worried about my brush/razor as well. My apartment in on the bottom floor (partially underground) so things stay quite damp. Mold grows pretty easily around the place so i am planning on setting up a fan that is constantly on the desk i keep my razor and brush on in my room. hopefully that will help.

You should always keep your brush to dry in a well ventilated place, I keep mine hanging while they dry, but some will say that's not necessary.

I live in single digit humidity and it takes a good 24 hours for the brush to completely dry after use. With some really dense brushes even longer. Probably having an extra brush and rotating is a good idea.
Of course in the old days men owned one brush and used it every day and didn't worry about such things.

I see I'm not alone :)
A fan is a good idea! It is also likely the problem will get better as soon as it gets cold enough to run the heat :) It has been unusually warm this year in Wisconsin. :)

You guys need to buy about 10 brushes each. Or go together and get a communal wind tunnel to dry out your shaving stuff. :rofl2:

I have it drying out in the window sill :)
We'll see how that works :)
As for the wind tunnel, I have an idea for a small scale one including a shipping tube and a hair dryer :) I'll sell it to anyone :) you just have to use your own hair dryer! :)
