My kitchen scale showed that the we brush contained 12 g of water.
Before I show the calculations, I will give the result. 4.63E+18 molecules leave the brush every second. This is a large number. It means there are 18 places to the left of the decimal point. How large. Well it is a billion billion. One billion seconds is 31 years. Someone has another way to look at it - it is in the same level as the number of grains of sand on all the beaches of the earth -- and this is just in one second!!

If you are still paying attention, here are my calculations for the shaving brush evaporation.
| Water weight on brush (g) | 12.00 |
| Molecular wt. of water | 18.00 |
| moles of water | 0.66 |
| Avgadro's Number | 6.00E+23 |
| Number of Molecules | 4.00E+23 |
| Seconds in day | 86,400.00 |
| Molecules per second | 4.63E+18 |
