ABOUT HORSE HAIR SHAVING BRUSHES
• Horse Hair Brushes when new can have a slight smell to them when they are wet for the first few uses but the smell soon disappears - NOTE : Many are received without any odour too.
• Horse Hair Shave Brushes work perfectly from new but will get softer after about 10-20 Shaves so do not judge their quality until you have used them quite a bit.
• Horse Hair Shave Brushes 'might' lose a few hairs each use for the first month - if your brush continues to shed hairs after a month enquire about a replacement Brush.
• Horse Hair Brushes also require that you soak the hair tips in WARM ( not hot ) water for about 10 minutes before each use to soften the Horse hairs - this is important and if you do not pre soak them the hairs will start breaking off.
• Horse Hair Brush hair fibres absorb & hold a great deal of water ( high water retention ) in the fibres when pre-soaking them before a Shave, which makes the lather stay very warm as you apply it to your face = Great Face Feel !
• Make sure you properly dry your Brush after each use by first thoroughly rinsing out the Brush with cold or warm tap water ( not hot ), gently shaking out excess water, gently squeezing the Brush Knot with a dry towel ( without pulling on the Knot or hairs ) and then leaving out in the open to dry - some people hang the Brushesupside down to dry but we have found this is not necessary. Any Horse Hair Shave Brush can take between 1.5 and 2 days to ' completely ' dry out after each Shave. The smaller the Shave Brush Knot the quicker it can dry.
• You can clean them once a month by gently washing them with shampoo and repeating the steps to dry the Brush
