Any good ideas for keeping a brush in good shape when travelling? I saw on one of mantic's videos that he found a large prescription meds jar to fit a brush into but I don't have anything like that lying around.

before I got my turnback I used a toilet roll. Its not the greatest, but it works (plus if it gets wet/wrecked you can get another in any hotel room
+1 on the toilet paper roll - I travel quit often and this is what I use - just replace it often
If you want something a little sturdier than a TP roll, Em's place has some durable plastic cases for travel:
Most pharmacies will give you a tube at little or no cost.
I've been known to do what I'm going to do on this trip with a brush. I'll put it in a zip lock baggie and carefully tuck it between some clothes in the suitcase for my trip out towards NYC this week.

I leave in two days so it looks like I'm going the TP route or pestering a pharmacist for this trip.
Those Em's place cases look good though.
Thanks guys.

Another idea: dry your brush with the hotel's hair dryer as you leave. Dry your toothbrush that way as well.
Get yourself a travel shave bag . Here is a link with several items .

Just hope you aren't made to dump your bag out and those airport rent a cops see your contraption .

Go to a dollar store and buy a large bottle of cinnamon or other spice. Dump the spice and punch a few holes in the lid.
Works perfectly.

Do you have a pharmacy nearby? Should be able to get one from there. They make great travel tubes for soaps sticks & brushes!
Good posts all. I've opted for the Dovo travel brush in the stainless steel tube. Packs up into a neat round tube thats able to survive anything. Oh yeah, its a silvertip too. 
Excellent choice sir! I have a Dovo travel brush as well and absolutely love it.

I have a tube that my travel brush came with, but I still dry it so it doesn't get funky. I'm just careful not to scorch it. Some of those hair dryers pump out a lot of heat.
Less than a year ago someone on the forum sponsored a group buy of tubes for travel. DRANDALL was the gentleman. Title was shaving brush tubes. You might look up the threads and/or pm him to see if any more remain. He listed the size of the container; works well with my C&E BBB. Also a search for that will show a number of threads on traveling with a brush and its care.
