The Toothbrush is a plain plastic toothbrush, found in bathrooms everywhere. The game files it as junk, but it has one crafting use.
The handle can be sharpened into a stabbing weapon. The Make Toothbrush Shiv recipe turns it into a Toothbrush Shiv. Prison cells are one of the likeliest places to find a toothbrush.
Toothbrushes are common in bathrooms, grocery stores, Zippee stores and hospital rooms.
Uses
The Make Toothbrush Shiv recipe is the toothbrush's only crafting use. It takes one Toothbrush, a lighter and a binding such as tape. A tool for grinding the handle to a point is kept. A whetstone, a file, a small saw, a metal saw or a sharp knife all serve. The recipe needs Maintenance level 1 and no station.
The shiv is a cheap stabbing weapon for an early character. All the materials are common household items.
Research
The Research Craft option in the inventory menu studies the Toothbrush and teaches the recipes below.

Bathroom shelves and counters are good places too. Hospital side tables, in rooms and hallways, hold one now and then.
Gas station shelves at Fossoil and Gas 2 Go turn one up less often. General store and pharmacy shelves hold a few. Tourist bags and Halloween candy buckets hold one rarely.
