The freezing part was a brilliant hack.
I’m just a girl trying to clean her model off duty bun brush but after you said you had a PhD in chemistry I subscribed
As soon as you pulled out the turpentine I knew this channel was a keeper.
That, sir, was exactly the moment I had hit the subscribe button.
Some of the best beard advices out there.
I can’t imagine my mrs being too happy about me putting my brush in the freezer, then using her knitting needles to scrape the crud out on the worktop, but here goes 😂😂😂
In the glassware too 😅 after a whole year 🙈
lol I asked my daughter to check the freezer for a particular ingredient one day and we didn't have it and I asked, "are you sure?" and she replied, "no..I see ice...fruit...yadda yadda...and a brush?" 😂
Shhhh, she doesn't have to know, hide it😂
You made my beard life better with this. Thank you Sir
Awesome! I just air dry my brush outside and finish by putting beard oil on the brush bristles. I treat my brush bristles much like my beard hairs.
i use brushes for my waves 🌊 and i came across this video. nice info im going to use this 👌🏾
So useful. Thank you, friend.
I’m doing this to my hair brush. Thanks
Yep came here for the same reason.
Great video!
Thanks! 👍
Once a year? I wash my bristle brush every day, it brings natural oils from ur scalp to the ends of ur hair, so you need to clean your brush after brushing. I use a bit of shampoo then apple cider vinegar.
My beard is similar to yours it feels so good to brush it with a boar bristle brush on my head and face. Every so often I clean my brush much like you do minus the turpentine stage. Perhaps because I have not used wax on mine. My wife wants me to shave my covid lockdown bread off. As she is tired of finding long gray public hairs around the house and clothing. But at my age I can not imagine a punishment that would work. I told her that she could have control of all my body hair but only if she gave me control of her body hair. Lately she has not brought up the subject. 🤔
I used a cheap ziplock bag to put my comb adn brush in the freezer. It works much better than just scraping it. I have a metal rake type brush cleaner and use pipe cleaners from the dollar store for my comb. The dish soap idea works pretty great too.
Why the ziplock back tho?
@@ptrkmr So the comb and brush aren't touching anything else in my freezer. For sanitary/hygiene reasons. Viruses and bacteria can live on surfaces for a long time. Some can even live in freezer temperatures for hours to years/decades. You don't want stuff from your hair getting on your food packaging or into your food, and vice versa.
This is why sars cov2 spread even though there were lockdowns (too late), most got vaccinated and wore masks. They weren't cleaning surfaces well, or washing their hands adequately.
For example, if you touch the outside of a cereal box, and the bag inside then don't wash your hands, just dig into the cereal and snack on it, then you probably got sick. Chances are the person at the store who put it back on the shelf, or the stocker was sick and had dirty hands. You took the virus from the outside of the package, or the outside of the bag inside, and put it directly into your mouth and introduced it into the rest of the bag of cereal.
You don't want some funky bacteria from the outside of a package you just put in the freezer transferring to your comb and then messing up your scalp. So separate it, by putting it in a bag or some other container.
Letting the turpentine stop on the wooden table...😵
I like that you cleaned your brush so thoroughly; I highly suggest cleaning it more often, especially since you use products in your beard. If youre brushing daily, I would recommend washing at least once a month. But you seem happy with your routine, so whatevs!
Hey amn, thank you for the step by step. I'm been going through some kind of irritations and after noticing that I haven't clean my boar brush in around 10 years. Dude, the water afterwards was... You know. Did the soap and water twice after seeing the first batch for better results.
Thank you for this, I was a little skeptical of washing with shampoo thinking it would detach the hairs but I will run this procedure soon
10/10 video, I have no complaints! Will try this method out now and report back in 24h with results for those who are considering the validity of this video
So, did you actually use that method?
@@gsteele605 haha, I forgot to respond but I did use this method, and it worked amazingly. I didn’t use the step that required some sort of solution as I didn’t have it but regardless my brushes were very clean afterward, even my brush in terrible condition is making a comeback
The teeth, the glasses, the bald head... *chef's kiss* perfecto look for a beard expert. I don't know why, but you're a face I can absolutely trust. You are KILLING it!
It's like your beard is a talking beard, and a handsome beard at that.
That's what everyone says about me too hahaha
👍👍👍
I've only owned my boar brush for a few days for my hair and I could not imagine using it for a year without cleaning it. My scalp would be screaming. I know it's just an example, so yeah, every few days clean I'd say.
Yes mine is for the hair also. I plan on cleaning it 2x month. I feel less itchy since i started using it. Im aiming for 🍑 lenght hair 😅😅😅
@@etcwhatever Good luck, it's a great investment.
How long do you keep the brush in freezer? Thanks
The oils and waxes harden up quite quickly. About 30 mins to 1 hr will be enough.
Does this concept work the same with a black brush
Doesn’t the turpentine leave a residual smell on the brush? And then on your beard when you use it?
I have two brushes I clean them every two weeks
How long do you leave it in the freezer?
How long do you keep it in the freezer? Not sure you mentioned that or I missed it
He commented 30 min. to an 1 hr
How do you remove the white build up on the base of the brush facing outside? The edges of my brush are horrific at the very bottom.
I think that's what the turpentine or isopropyl alcohol final soak is for. Trying now with IA
@@bhgemini Thanks for the reply. I have heard you can keep these for years. I bought a new one cuz I just couldn't remove that bottom white area. Ill try this out.
Just tried with isopropyl alcohol and it removed nearly all of it. Letting it dry over night to see if it removes the rest. Tried several other videos today and no go. Like you bought a new one. Did his full freezer, clean, soak/scrub and alcohol soak and it is nearly brand new. Only lost 10 or so hairs and pretty sure they were only held in with old wax.
Use dish soap
And let it soak for the all night
Then it will definitely clean it
You need a new brush my friend
I just throw my brushes/ combs away whenever I fell like they got too much junk stuck on then , I just don't want ro deal with the whole process of doing all that just for a 10$ brush 😂😂😂😂
Lame. My brush has character and I’ve had it ever since I’ve had a beard lmao
That is really dumb, why waste money and resources for a simple process
@fire.smok3 because it's more convenient that way
@@resco91 more convenient for an idiot
It worked great! Thanks for the tips 🫡
Dear Lord man my BFWood brush was $7, why the hell would I do all this! Do you need an adult to buy you a new brush or something?
Maybe you don't like waste? Maybe the brush has emotional significance? Or maybe you need the 7 dollars for something else?
