Instructions
1. Run your brush under warm water to remove any soap hanging around from your previous shave. Squeeze a few drops of detergent in your hand and lather up the brush as you would for a shave (I used Dr. Bronner’s baby-mild unscented soap for sensitive skin). Rinse in warm water.
2. Combine water and a splash of vinegar in a glass or shallow bowl. Swish the brush around in the solution and let it soak for up to 5 minutes.
4. Give your brush one last rinse, squeeze out any remaining moisture, then let air dry.
