Post shave care

Post by northadams »

Monday morning! Nice chat last night. I think this may have been discussed before but before the squeeze, shake & towel do you all finish with a hot water rinse alone or do you follow with a cold rinse for a less floppy brush? Max

I don't really think it matters. I usually give the final rinse in cold water so that I can wring it out by hand.

Everything I have read points to just a hot water rinse. I talked to Charles at QED about brush care, and his suggestion was a good rinse until the water is clear and then just shake it dry.

Max,

I perform the three steps you mention after a warm water rinse. I guess that I couldn't commit myself to hot or cold so took the middle road. I have been doing this for a couple years now with great success.

Max, Yeah, I do a thorough hot water rinse, then a cold water rinse. I doubt that it's really necessary, but it's something I picked up years ago, I think from Taylor of Old Bond Street. Now it just habit. At least it insures that the brush is very well rinsed. Regards, Gordon
