I have also seen really inexpensive brushes at Meijer I imagine that they would be even cheaper wholesale and at that price they are pretty much disposable.

I still have a lot of time to think about it I still have about a year to go fortunately for me my teacher actually wrote the state exam.
Things are so different state to state, but the only thing I could find online was for Texas. you might not have to clave them...soaking just the blade in Barbicide should be satisfactory, and if you soak them, and then put then in the UV cabinet, it should be enough, but obviously ask the Board in your state first.

As far as brushes are concerned, if it can be sanitized, then you could use it. Synthetic brushes would be ok, but I don't know how well they would work, and I don't think I've ever seen one. Like you said though, rent a "locker" for the guys that would like straight shaves, and just get a VDH Boar brush from your local drug store or Walmart.

I'm still working on the details, but I WILL find a way to make it work. I think everyone deserves a good shave

If they're willing, I'd be glad to do the shaves as "a friend" and not a charged service, but recommend they leave a tip/gratuity

I plan on working from home if I can, so I'm sure there's ways to get around the BS.
