Thanks brother! I’ve been growing my beard now for almost 2 years and only cleaned my brush once. I’ve been noticing some acne on my face as a result to not cleaning my brush often. Will definitely be cleaning it once every month or so now! Also great tip adding in the beard oil to the brush! I love how informative yet simple this video is
Starting to look well already Colin....keep it up! Interesting to see how quick it grows.....when you have a full beard you forget about the growth sometimes. Onwards to week 4 brother!!
You definitely forget how long it takes to get a full beard! I'm on week three now and probably need another three weeks to fill it out nicely. Onwards we go!!
Haven't been keeping up on the videos due to shaving to make masks easier to wear. That said, catching up on all the videos has got me fired up to start growing it out again. Thanks for all the good info Colin!
Good information as always, cheers Colin. Good tip about the oil as I have two brushes on the go and washed one recently and it definitely had a weird smell after which puzzled me a bit. I'll do it again some weekend when I'm at home and can supervise the drying. Keep up the great videos, I always enjoy them 👍👍
Thank you! The oil is great but I think the real key is a good air drying afterwards. Glad the videos are helping and always appreciate your comments 🙌🏽👊🏽
Wow very glad I found this video, I have a Cremo beard brush similar to the one in this video, and I've had it for a little over a year and have never cleaned it 🥴 I also have a smaller one I keep in the car that also has to be cleaned. I remember the cleaning instructions saying to soak it in soapy warm water but I'll definitely follow the steps in this video. Cheers mate from Massachusetts, USA 🥂
Yes I clean my beard brush a lot it is really great for you as a person cuz da brush is important in the experience to feel your hole body at the same time as a from of meditation to release positive thoughts thew your mind and connect with your ancestors primal instinct. .
Pensei que só eu acompanhava o Colin aqui no Brasil....Olha só! Meu único problema é que não entendo inglês...rsrsrs aí vou entendendo pelo vídeo mesmo.

The beard oil adds a nice scent to the brush even when it's dry and also replenishes a bit of moisture to the actual boar hair after washing with soap. But beware of the wet beard brush...not a great smell at all! 😂
Wood swells up when you dip it in water which hampers it's longevity. Use luke warm water to moisten the bristles. It will help loosen up the oils and dirt. After shampooing the boar bristles (which is obviously hair strands) apply a little bit of conditioner to make the bristles soft. Wash off the conditioner fully, and then splash off the water immediately. After that, BLOW DRY the bristle brush. It will eliminate every traces of water. Also, blow dry at the back i.e. on the wood handle. Blow dry untill you feel the warmth on wood by touching. Put some oil on the bristles as well as on the handle. I will suggest to not to use the brush for a day atleast. You will notice that the layer of oil you have applied on the handle vanishes the other day as wood has absorbed the oil and it will prevent it from chipping and roughness.
Some excellent tips there! Thank you very much for contributing with such a high quality comment. Love the tip about a little oil on the wood handle...this will definitely help. Really appreciate you subscribing and thanks again! Colin
I saw someone use beard shampoo, would that work as well? I don't know if I got any natural soaps at home. If it works for my face it should work for my brush right?
Yes, that would work too but make sure whatever you're putting on your face, beard or brush is decent quality with no ingredients you have no idea about. Natural and simple is so much better in my opinion. Rinse the brush thoroughly and it will work well. Thanks for watching the video...really appreciate it!
@@westcorkbeardcompany I have to be honest, I've just bought Proraso Beard Shampoo, that might be bad? If you have any other suggestion I'm open to it my friend! I only use natural brushes. Boar for exfoliate and badger for lather :)
I would use my beard soap, but any good quality handmade soap with very few ingredients would work really well. That's ideal. However, if you have a regular soap, that is fine, but definitely put a few drops of beard oil on after to stop the bristles drying out 👍
I'm currently washing mine once a month as I'm also using a beard comb. With all we have going on in our lives I think once a month is doable and easy to remember!
If you have a beard you get it. A hairbrush is very different as you are not putting it near your face. You are also eating, kissing etc around that area so it has to be cleaner than your head
A wet boar hair brush doesn't smell great. Adding the oil after washing makes the scent much more pleasant and fresh throughout the whole process. You can always add more when it's dry 👍
No not at all. There's no problem as long as there are no cracks in the brush and you dry it out properly. It's a once a week fix to keep it fresh so the wood can take that amount of moisture. Obviously some woods may react differently. Thanks for the question!
@@westcorkbeardcompany Bought it from Amazon about a year and a half ago. The brand name is Viking Revolution. Honestly, It seems like it’s a dropped ship item with the brands engraving but, I’m not entirely sure.
You can test it! Wet it and leave it for an hour...you will definitely know that it's boar bristle as you will smell it. It's like the scent of a smelly wet dog 😂
@@westcorkbeardcompany I cleaned as you instructed in this video and it sure stank a bit after Lol. Added a few drops of castor oil into the bristles and that took care of the smell. Thanks for the help brother 🙏
iv just spent the whole day trying to find out why my brush smells.. and you are the only person to address the smell. thanks.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching 🙌🏽
I watch this video every month lmao
Great! You have a nice clean beard brush no doubt 😄

solid video, is the beard only for combating the smell of the brush while its drying?
The beard oil adds a nice scent to the brush even when it's dry and also replenishes a bit of moisture to the actual boar hair after washing with soap. But beware of the wet beard brush...not a great smell at all! 😂

My brush became soft when i cleand it that good
Is your brush made from boar hair and did you let it air dry fully?
Pretty clutch!
Thank you!

@@westcorkbeardcompany I have to be honest, I've just bought Proraso Beard Shampoo, that might be bad? If you have any other suggestion I'm open to it my friend!
I only use natural brushes. Boar for exfoliate and badger for lather :)
@@westcorkbeardcompany I use their sensitive line-up for everything from pre- to post shave.
@@allaverdi90 I'd recommend our new beard soap...only six ingredients and each one was chosen with the health of your beard in mind 👍🏾
@@westcorkbeardcompany do you send to Sweden?
What soap do I use to clean my beard brush
I would use my beard soap, but any good quality handmade soap with very few ingredients would work really well. That's ideal. However, if you have a regular soap, that is fine, but definitely put a few drops of beard oil on after to stop the bristles drying out 👍
Can i use the same procedure on nylon bristles.
Yes but go easy as synthetic bristles can scratch! Nylon should be OK but plastic is the worst
Is that bronner's soap? Wanting to clean my husband's brushes for him and I do have Bronners already at home
Yes it is Tiffany 😁
Brother how often do you wash your beard Brush?
I'm currently washing mine once a month as I'm also using a beard comb. With all we have going on in our lives I think once a month is doable and easy to remember!
@@westcorkbeardcompany Thanks brother. Yeah I usually use a Afro pick
can i use my beard balm? lmfao thanks for the tip man
Cheers Jacob! 🙌
I don t know man... When have someone clean a hairbrush?
If you have a beard you get it. A hairbrush is very different as you are not putting it near your face. You are also eating, kissing etc around that area so it has to be cleaner than your head
Hoe about allowing it to air dry, then adding the beard oil?
A wet boar hair brush doesn't smell great. Adding the oil after washing makes the scent much more pleasant and fresh throughout the whole process. You can always add more when it's dry 👍
@@westcorkbeardcompany Thanks! I appreciate the reply.

Aren't you worried about the integrity of the wood?
No not at all. There's no problem as long as there are no cracks in the brush and you dry it out properly. It's a once a week fix to keep it fresh so the wood can take that amount of moisture. Obviously some woods may react differently. Thanks for the question!
@@westcorkbeardcompany what's a once a week fix? I thought we do this washing routine once a month?
@@thoranevans4832Meant to say once a month! Thanks for catching that 👍🏾
I wash my brush out with fairy liquid. It turns out unreal.
Nice!! Always good to get another man's insights 👊
I can’t tell if my brush is real boar hair or fake because only the tips of the hairs are orangish.
Where did you buy it?
@@westcorkbeardcompany I got it off Amazon about 2 years ago it came with a comb, brush, and scissors. The brand name is Viking Revolution.

Get to the point.
🤣 Fast forward or move on buddy
It only took you like 15 seconds to get to the point.lol that’s pretty good. We didn’t hear your whole life story before you washed your brush
Thank you
You're very welcome!
