With the recent release of the Vikings Blade Badger shaving brush,
shaving experience just got a whole lot more exciting. If you have already
purchased the brush, you would want to read these tips to keep the brush
maintained to give better service life.
What Is It Made From?
Before you go about maintaining something, you have to know what the
construction materials used in designing it is. The brush is made from badger
hair. Just like your hair, you should keep it clean always. Badger brushes can
have a repugnant smell if not properly treated. Over time, the brush may begin
to develop soap residue. To clean this, soak the brush in vinegar solution for
some minutes and rinse off.
Use Gently
The badger is the most preferred hair type for shaving brush because of
its water retentive properties. Since it can hold sufficient amount of
moisture, it will form good lather easily. The bristles have a design that also
makes them good for exfoliating the skin while shaving. So with this, you don't
necessarily need to apply too much pressure when making and applying the
lather. Too much application of pressure can bend or even break the bristles.
Keep It Dry
When you're done with the brush, ensure you keep it dry. After you
rinse the lather off, shake the brush to remove water molecules caught between
its bristles. Then hang the brush upside down in its stand and leave to dry.
