Cleaning Your Shaving Brush

Now you may be wondering if cleaning a shaving brush is anything close to rocket science. Like honestly, it’s just a brush and anyone can clean it without reading up a post about it. So since you are so skilled in cleaning brushes, would you be kind enough to look at the area where the hairs attach to the handle? What do you see? If you are sincere, you would probably see some leftover lather scum. To get it out, you will need much more than water.

First, start by getting vinegar and detergent as they play a very key role in cleaning the shaving brush. Take the brush under a tap and wash it thoroughly to remove as much dirt as your eyes can notice. Then you would need to add a little detergent and lather it up. When you have formed a good enough lather, you should make a bath in a mug and allow the brush to soak in for a while.

Take the brush out and rinse again in clean water. This will help to remove the leftover dirt and reduce any odor in the brush. After this, make a solution of vinegar in a mug and place the washed shaving brush into it. Allow the brush to soak in it for a minute or two. Once this is achieved, the next step is to rinse and dry. Always remember, keeping the brush dry is as important as washing it properly.
