Cleaning

[Crisp]

Hello friends,

I thought I would try cleaning my two brushes today. I have never done it before.

Soaked them in a Distilled water and Vineger solution for about 10 minutes. Rinsed a few times in cold water. I was surprised how much more "fluffy" they felt afterwards.

Any harm in this? Seemed to be an inexpensive method.

I shall shave today after work and note any performance improvements!

Nope, no harm. Mantic actually recommends this if you don't have any Borax. I like the borax though, I think it works better and doesn't leave any vinegar smell. Plus it's like 2 bucks for a huge box that would clean 5,000 brushes
