<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nMany shaving brushes rival a work of art. Ornate handles. Ombre hair variations. They should be stored for everyone to see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shaving brushes should be stored in a well-circulated, humidity-free environment when possible. This is especially important for natural hair brushes to lessen the chance of bacterial growth.
