I vote "no rinse"... kinder to the planet thus sticking with the thread. I am also concerned that the brush may not hold together.Remember this SAGE advice my friend: if @KeenDogg is too smart to do it, it SHORE ain't for the faint of heart!
I have been AMAZED tho by the random combinations of soap and creams and tubes being greater than the singular soaps, creams, and tubes! If it weren't for that absolutely lousy brush shedding like a Christmas tree left in the corner until March (yeah, I was single once. Then my wife fell for my charms, bank account, and my incredibly handsome face, not to mention my humility) that set up has given me my smoothest shaves.
A long time ago, a true gentleman on here (not like KeenDogg) sent me a brush that I experimented with for a while to try to kill. It's a really high class brush, an Edwin Jagger, wooden handle, boar bristles. It was given to me by a guy who wishes to remain anonymous (@shavefan ) because he's so humble, like me, and he even gave me permission to try to see how long it will last without rinsing. So I think when I get home I'll PIF the original brush, a "Marvy" plastic thing that I am pretty sure the bristles came from a Dingo, so that someone else can try it. The question is, should I rinse it first or leave it in it's beautiful, permanently bent state?
Have youse guys ever met ANYONE (besides a politician) that can talk about absolutely NOTHING of consequence for as long as I can that don't have a law degree? Me neither! Maybe that's why my wife likes me bein' on here so much...
