Description
This little wooden nail brush pairs a solid beech handle with a dense block of cream bristles, and carries a sausage dog printed in dark brown across the top. The dog is drawn in a simple, friendly style, long and low with a striped body, so the brush looks as cheerful beside the basin as it is useful in the hand. It is a mini size, 6cm long, 3cm wide and 2.5cm high, and weighs just 19 grams, so it sits neatly in the palm and takes up hardly any room. The handle shows the natural pale grain of the beech, and the polypropylene bristles are set in neat tufts across the underside.
Its natural home is the bathroom, beside the soap at the basin or on a shelf by the bath, ready for a quick scrub of nails and fingertips after gardening, baking or a spot of painting. Because it is so small, it also slips easily into a wash bag for weekends away, or sits by the kitchen sink where hands need a proper clean after working with soil or pastry. A wooden brush with a playful print makes a welcome change from a plain plastic one, and the sausage dog gives it plenty of character without any fuss.
The beech handle has softly rounded corners that make it easy to hold, with the bristles running the full length of the base. After each use, rinse the bristles under the tap, shake off the excess water and leave the brush to dry with the bristles facing down, which helps keep the wood in good condition. As with any wooden brush, it is best not left standing in water or soaking in the bath. For a small present, it pairs nicely with a favourite bar of soap or a hand cream, tucked into a gift bag for anyone who likes cheerful, practical things about the home.
