Standing it on the handle will allow water to collect at the base and eventually this can loosen the hairs. I have been using the same badger hair shaving brush for well over a decade and it is great. </p> <img src="http://articles.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=226889" width="1" height="1">http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2006/07/13/secrets-of-how-to-finally-get-a-good-shave.aspx#33017Tue, 29 Apr 2008 11:54:14 GMT24451277-a5aa-4add-96dc-64081bfd86fa:33017bball<p>Good info. &nbsp;I have shaved in the shower for years. &nbsp;Get an inexpensive, fog free mirror. &nbsp;To get extra long life from your blades, rinse thoroughly and dry the blades with a clean, dry towel. &nbsp;The reason blades dull quickly is that the moisture on them causes erosion of the stainless steel. &nbsp;I have a fairly heavy beard, but get about 1 1/2 to 2 months per blade.</p> <img src="http://articles.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=33017" width="1" height="1">
