Brush not used the shave with.

[StuMcB]

Have redecorated the en-suit which I all the Den and have used an old wilkinson sword bristle brush as a light pull. Drilled straight through, thread string and hey presto. Anyone else use old no good brushes for other stuff than shaving?

We used to use "crap brushes", aren't good for crap, to get sand off of our rifles in the desert. The stiff bristles are really good at getting little grains of sand out from little crevices.

my daughter (just shy of 3) uses a cheapo to clean the bathtub crayons/markers off the side of the tub.

I've also used them to clean razors, other brush handles, and various other household things.

We used to take handles that were marked or chipped and drill down through them, string them on a frame and put them in the garden as a kind of bird scarer - they knocked together when the wind blew them. I guess that's what you would call a Simpson family indulgence! Also when I was a very young lad my grandfather and dad used to give me a box load of Simpson handles and I would use two at a time as 'rocket boosters' on toy rockets I used to make - I bet that makes some of you guys shudder at the waste!!!

Maybe some, but a kid needs something to play with. My Dad was studying to be an OB/GYN while I was growing up. Don't ask what I had to play with.

use the floppier ones to apply talc; sprinkle a little on the brush head, then use the brush to dust on the neck and face???

Thats what the other cheapo brush I've got is relagated too. My daughter (5) makes up a bath tub foam beard and pretends to 'shave' like daddy.
