FAQs
Does a shaving brush need a stand?
While your brush does not strictly require a stand, using one is highly recommended. A brush stand helps to maintain the shape of the bristles and allows for proper drying after use. This prevents moisture from accumulating at the base, which can lead to mould and deterioration of the brush over time.
What to look for when buying a brush stand?
When selecting a brush stand, consider the following factors:
- Material: Look for durable materials such as stainless steel or chrome that resist rust and corrosion.
- Size: Ensure that the stand fits your specific brush size, accommodating both the handle and bristle head.
- Stability: A sturdy base is essential to prevent tipping and ensure that your brush remains secure.
- Design: Choose a design that complements your grooming setup, whether it’s modern or traditional.

Should you store shaving brushes up or down?
Brushes should ideally be stored with the bristles facing downwards in a shaving brush stand. This position allows excess water to drain away from the base of the bristles, promoting faster drying and maintaining the integrity of the brush. Storing brushes upright can trap moisture, leading to potential damage over time.
