It also occurred to me later that you probably have your electricity from
waterfalls or melting ice or some other clean & renewable resource up

moisturizer after shampoo is totally soluble. Just like the shampoo, it
washes out entirely -- and does make the brushes nice. I haven't had the
pleasure of your badger, finding that the hake brushes (about $6 apiece

about 6 of them, enough to let them dry spontaneously -- but the
occasional moisturizing gives them a big thrill.
