Regularly cleaning your brush will ensure it continues to perform at the optimum level - giving you great lathers to help protect and moisturize your skin. While how often your shave brush will need a deep clean depends on how often you use it, we recommend deep cleaning it twice per year. If there is any noticeable residue buildup on the base of the bristles and at the top of the handle, this is a good indicator that it's time for a clean.
This simple deep cleaning routine can be used for badger hair or synthetic brushes.
Fill the mug/cup with enough warm water to cover your brushβs bristles
Add two drops of the pure Castile liquid soap to the water
Swirl your brush in the solution, gently pushing the brush down on the bottom of the mug/cup, for 45-60 seconds
Remove the brush from the water and soap mixture and rinse it with warm water until the water runs clear
Squeeze the excess water out of your brush with your hand (try not to flick your brush to remove excess water, this will loosen the bristles over time!)
Dispose of the water and soap mixture, rinse out the mug/cup and refill the mug with enough warm water to cover the bristles
Add a generous splash of distilled white vinegar to this water (roughly 1 tablespoon)
Swirl your brush in the solution, gently pushing the brush down onto the bottom of the mug/cup, for 30-45 seconds
Let the brush sit in the water and vinegar solution for 5 minutes
Remove the brush from the water and vinegar solution and rinse with warm water until the water runs clear
