At some point, a box of Humble toothbrushes somehow turned up in the house. I’m sure I didn’t buy them. But here they are, so I thought I’d try them.
After decades of smooth plastic toothbrushes in my mouth, a bamboo brush feels distinctly odd. The handle and the head are flat and straight, not rounded like I’m used to. It doesn’t have that kink in the handle that most brushes have, so the geometry feels a bit off. And I can feel the texture of bamboo against my tongue and cheeks all the time.
The plastic brushes, especially those with colourful patterns, radiate fun, modernity and slickness.
The humble brush radiates humility.
Buying plastic that I know I will throw away within months feels really, really icky now.
