    I suspect he has no formal training and just picked it up himself.

    I also wonder how he cleans the brush in between customers.

    I do believe that there are UV light thingys that can be used for both razor and brushes. Not 100%, but I think so.

    I doubt a UV could penetrate deep enough down into the knot to get everything. A soaking in barbicide is probably what they do however personally I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of a common use brush.

    If it's one of those high end places where they charge fifty bucks or more for a shave they could well use a disposable boar or horse brush.

    UV is great,,, if the light reaches all areas, UV would be a poor choice on a knot.
