How to use: Might be a dumb question, but are you supposed to dip the brush in, get some soap, and then mix it in another bowl or just whip it up in all of the soap?

Soak your brush in hot sink for a couple minutes. Remove brush from sink and let excess water drip from bristles. Swirl brush in the soap until brush is well charged. Maybe 50 swirls in the soap bowl. You can then continue creating lather in your shave bowl or directly face lather until you find the right consistency. Add a few drops of water to your shave bowl to make more lather or barely dip the tip of your brush in the sink to make more lather if you chose not to use a bowl and prefer to face lather. It lathers wonderfully with little effort.

I clean all my "good" brushes the same way. Using tepid water, I swirl it in a mix of liquid dish soap, like Dawn and water. Not a LOT of soap, just enough to make it really sudsy. If the dried makeup doesn't come out, go ahead and rub some concentrated Dawn right on the bristles. It doesn't hurt the brush at all. Rinse it really well and lay flat to dry. It fluffs right up again and doesn't lose any hair from being washed. If you use hot water, you could compromise the glue, so keep it warm and don't baby it! You can use shampoo too, but dish soap works faster and better. Good luck. I love the brush and hope you do too. I clean all my "good" brushes the same way.

I just run my hands over the bristles quickly and lightly or use a vacuum hose. Don't wash it. You don't want the ends of the bristles to tangle or knot.

Go with Regular Soap...you put only up to the make and then the rest with water (hint: use HOT water at a trickle to fill it)and REMEMBER to SWIRL it (DON'T SHAKE it) Swirling mixes the soap better...YOU ARE GONNA LOVE THESE !!

The soap comes in a container with a small scoop included. There are easy directions to follow on the container. I personally use one scoop per load in my regular washer.

Simple dish soap and water, just like a sponge. Make sure you wring it out really well. Give it a good squeeze to get out most of the water so bacteria doesn't grow. Then let it dry out. It won't take long to dry if you wring it out well. In case you haven't noticed, that is the key.

No problems here. I spray it with Pam before use, and after use I soak it a bit, give it a little scrub with a kitchen brush, and pop it in the dishwasher.

Mitchell Valdez is 100% correct. Once you have established a good solid coating of polymerized oil on the surface (i.e., the "seasoning"), it is OK to use dish soap when necessary. But never let the pan sit in soapy water, and be judicious in your scrubbing. I also re-season my pans pretty frequently, using vegetable shortening. After the pan is clean AND DRY, just put it on the stovetop, turn on the heat, add a little shortening, and then when it melts spread it around the pan with a paper towel. Quick and easy, and my pans have a solid coating of polymerized oil. The surface is as smooth as a baby's bottom. It's also a good idea to wipe down the outside with the shortening from time to time.

I usually just use dish soap. Throw a small amount in there, close the cap swish it around and run some of the soap water through the hose as you pour water in.You can use their cleaning tabs but if you throw a little soap on there after every use and rinse out, you should have no troubles

I shake out most of the water from the brush then briskly swirl it in the tub with some pumping motion, about 30 seconds. Then I use a lathering bowl to make the lather, dipping the tip of the brush in the sink a few times to get the right consistency. You can skip the bowl and lather straight on the face if you want.

Smooth like a regular bowl, but it builds lather fine. I put a little water in the soap container, let it sit for five or six minutes while I hydrate the brush in the Col. Conk Model 111. I then pour out the water, shake off the brush, load it with the soap, and build the lather in the Col. Conk Model 111. Good lather comes up in less than thirty seconds of lathering. When I'm done shaving, I rinse out the 111, dry it, and let it sit till the next time. It's a nice little bowl for me. I'd buy it again.

I used dishwasher soap and water - just make sure it is completely dry before adding salt and pepper.

I just mix a pinch of the crystals into a dime sized amount of cleanser for one use. I generally just mix it right in the palm of my hand just before I'm going to use it.

I use a brush when cleaning the blade area and also the spray on the sink. Just don't let it dry with food on it; that makes it a lot harder to get clean.

The actual answer is yes you can, but it wouldn't be as helpful. This is already a creamy soap, I've used it before without a brush, it just doesn't work into as great a lather.

I wash mine in hot water, no soap. I make sure not to get any water into the slot for the blade. Wipe off the excess water and place flat on my counter. I tried to hang it up, the knife fell out. So that's how I do it
