hey, what do you guys think about the effect of shave oils on brushes? Leisureguy (Michael Ham), in his book says he doesnt like to use oils because he thinks they muck up brushes / make them hard to clean, but it also seems that he never particularly liked oils anyway. For my part, I think a good shave oil *essential* to a good shave. No lather can have the same softening and slippery-ing effect as a good oil. But it does seem to make the brushes a bit oily/sticky - which could actually be GOOD for the hair, for all I know. Then again, maybe you just need to shampoo the brush a bit more often. It would be nice if someone who understand hair anatomy and chemistry could weigh in.
Cheers.
