Cutting my toothbrush handle.

[LDog]

With tongue firmly in cheek, I take a first baby step away from mere lightweight, and towards ultra-lightweight!

why are there not holes drilled through it or are there????

[LDog]

There is a very fine hole, about midway on the handle, that looks like a hairline fracture waiting to happen. Course, it'd end up even lighter then...

Been there; done that. Even looked at a canine toothbrush, but that didn't work.

[LDog]

I can understand that. Clearly, a canine brush would not be optimal on molars and incisors.

I just cut the handle in half.....
And carry little travel toothpaste
Floss is even lighter...and can be used to stitch your pants back together!!

Just remember to take the right half!

Very nice I cut my backpacking toothbrushes in half, but just so that I could be lazy and store it in a sandwich size ziplock bag.

Now the important question, is cutting the handle HMHDI compliant?

I think its right up there with cutting excess strappage off one's pack

but you have to order a case of 720, or stop by your local jail booking area.

you laugh, but I cut almost a lb from one of my packs doing this i think it weighed in at 14 ounces.

Not at all, I'm looking forward to it.

What you need is on of those jail tooth brushes. A brush and two inches of handle with a spade like end that is gripped between thumb and index finger that cannot be shaped into a shiv.

Could you not just the handle, heat it and squeeze it flat with pliers?

how about a toothbrush where the other end in a spoon? duel use?

[Odd Man Out]

I know - how about a dual use titanium toothbrush/potty trowel?

just use the spoon!

A spoon wouldn't be very effective in a duel.

Other than knowing someone in Corrections (on the inside or the outside!), any ideas on how to obtain just one or two of these nifty little jail toothbrushes? I'd really like to have one or two, but can't/wont' buy hundreds for $70 and about $20 shipping. Heck, I'd go $5. I did a quick Google, but couldn't find individual sales. No luck at REI, etc.

Oops! Pasting an image seemed like a good idea, but what a disaster. Sorry. Anyway, if you want to see this toothbrush just check it out on Amazon - Radius Scuba Right Hand Toothbrush, Soft Bristles, (Adult).

I'd cut the bottom half of the handle off ...
