Shifting Down vs. Braking

I know you shouldn't shift down regularly with an automatic transmission but is it OK to do so with a standard? Can you essentially work down the gears like you worked up to help save your brakes? I for instance like to shift into second to slow instead of working the brakes but rarely shift into first. Thoughts???
