Shaving 101: How to Break in a New Shaving Brush

From our in-house barber and trainer Sheldon how to break in your new Proraso Professional Shaving Brush.

 

 

 

 
Break In Your Brush 
Soak your brush overnight in a bowl of water with about a tablespoon of salt.  This will help soften the bristles and neutralize any "new brush smell" from the natural bristles.
Post-Shave Care
Make sure to rinse your brush thoroughly (this can take 3-4 minutes), then allow the excess water to drain. Hang your brush from a stand or shake it out and lay sideways on a towel.
