Travel Brush Container

[Audiolab]

I have been mulling over the idea of buying a travel brush. It seems most are a compromise in that the knot is smaller and they are a little lacking in terms of lathering ability. Last year I bought a £2.99 brush from the chemist and it was so bad I threw it in the bin and hand lathered for the holiday. I really like having a brush and this year did not want to compromise.

The only ones that seem to be as good as a home brush are the Simpsons Major and at £80-£90 I would rather buy an ordinary one and take the hit on extra size.

Having weighed up my options I have decided to take the very first brush I bought, an EJ BBB. It is nice in that it is quite small and light but there is enough of a loft and density to get some decent lather. It is a good brush for both soaps and creams.

On the collective advice of the forums I visited my local pharmacy on Saturday morning and took the brush with me. Luckily enough he had a tub which was just the job and would not take a penny for it. A couple of holes drilled in the lid and base and the end result;

As you can see a perfect fit for the brush,

Ready to go,

So a tip to make a decent travel brush is to use one of your own and talk nice to your chemist.

That's cruel the poor beast can barely breathe or move, I'm reporting you to the RSPCB.

Sweet idea.

I am planning to use a small vulfix for travel (as opposed to a purpose made one), re the container I had a thought that instead of a hard container what about a fabric one, tube like with a drawstring at both ends.

Opinions?

If You go to most large "Car Boots" you normally see the Gents Grooming Kits for £2 or £3 quid, just use the nice Brush and Shave Stick Containers from those, i picked one up in mint condition, and it had two Containers and two mint condition Culmak Brushes...for £3.00

Why both ends?

This is my travel arrangement - choice of brushes...

Yep, that's what I use: Culmak brush in one, Palmolive in t'other.

Drawstring at both ends so the brush can be inserted and removed base first so the bristles dont snag. If you get me? A plastic tube is smooth so the brush just shakes out presumably.

Makes sense - yeah, plastic tube it just falls out when the tube is inverted.
