How do you dry your brush after a shave?

[Submariner]

Microwave on high for 90 seconds. Toaster oven for 3.5 minutes. Hang it on the clothesline on nice days. Tumble dry on delicate cycle.

Oh wait...I just let it dry naturally after shaking the water out.

I wrist flick it until I stop nearing the light splatter of drops in the shower enclosure - usually around 6. Then I put it on the open brush shelf and give it 48 hours to rest, although I'm sure it doesn't take anywhere near that long to dry - especially in the winter. But I think it's good practice as it reinforces the need for multiple brushes.

At work flick a few times then set it above the sink. Home, flick a few times and dry it on the stand

• Thoroughly rinse out with gentle squeezing.
• Shake in sink.
• Run the bristles over dry towel.
• Shake again.
• Run bristles over towel.
• Place brush horizontally for a few hours where the bristles overhang the sink.
• Return to the rest of the brush herd in bathroom closet.

I do a gentle squeeze, a couple shakes and then sit it by the sink to air dry. I'm fortunate to have enough brushes that I can use a different one every day of the week and allow others to dry. I feel bad for my grandfather who only had the one brush, one mug, and one soap (and one razor too).

Gently squeeze with a towel, then a very gentle setting on a hairdryer. I wrap my fingers around the base of the knot to protect that area from the heat. A couple of minutes and the brush is lovely and soft. Much softer than if it dries by air alone.
