I was looking at the Norwegian word for shaving brush the other day - if you really want to know, it's barberkost - when I had a brainwave, light bulb moment or whatever you want to call it. Why didn't I think of it before? I was fed up with getting shaving gel stuck under my long fingernails when spreading it over my face, legs or whatever with my hands. I thought a shaving brush would be the answer to this problem - of course I didn't have one of these old-fashioned items, so I had to buy one. Putting it to the test, squirting the gel on the brush, and then using the brush to spread it out, it worked a treat! No more gel under my nails!
So that's all there is to it, try this idea if you have long nails!
