Ed, you do realise that it takes a rather perverted mind to interpret my ultrasonic cleaner that way?

We do. We use the same €150 per bottle stuff which we use for shampooing. The wife does not approve, though.

They are. They are much like human hair. And like human hair, they don't appreciate an alkaline environment. That's why the soap residue has to go. An ultrasonic cleaner is just a convenient way to...

Phrank, that's all nice and dandy, but still completely beside the point. And you know that. How about something to actually chuckle about instead?

S0LITARYS0LDIER, If you pay for the ticket, I'll...

On Planet Logic, Bob. I said, "First, the software did exactly what it was supposed to do. That's good engineering, really.", and that is correct. I did not say, "First, the software did exactly what...

Don't tell my friends, though, Rob. They find the fact that I drive a six figure Indian car hilarious.

Oh, I know. That Ford engine is a bloody disgrace, though. Come next year, it will be...

Nothing, depending on whether you trust good old Nelson here more than a seasoned brush maker. When a brush maker with a few decades of experience tells me, "this is how you do it.", that is what...

Excellent observations, Blank. Many thanks for this. However, we did try this not only with the aforementioned hamster, but also with a plebeian brush prior to employing the method with a good brush....

I did consider your suggestion, but decided to alter the experiment a bit so you could benefit from the findings, too. Borrowing a hamster from a friend (he actually is not aware that the animal was...

Works for me. What sort of damage should it do, anyway?

Cleaning a brush is a bit like walking into Mordor. You do not simply do it.

I have never managed to keep a brush permanently free from soap residue. I asked a brush maker (knots, not handles)...

That approach will drive soap into the base of the knot, resulting in soap residue which will, over time, make the hairs brittle, and eventually break. As stated previously, fanning the brush open...

I would beg to differ. The bigger the brush, the easier it is to clean. Because the tips are longer, thus minimising the risk of, or need for, driving lather into the core of the brush. The one below...

I spoke to a brush maker with more than 30 years experience. "Brush maker" as in "makes his own knots". He told me to always carefully rinse my brushes after use. We are talking about high quality...
