KENTBRD2 Boar Bristle Beard Brush for Men - Specially Cut Natural White Boar Bristle for Flawless Shaping and Grooming, Ergonomic Pistol-Like Grip Wood Handle, Dry or Wet Beard, Distributes Oils

Pricey, but exceeded expectations. Buying a well-made hairbrush is worth the money.I bought my previous brush in 1963. It cost $5, while typical ones sold for $1.25. I just replaced it with this one in November 2024. I won't live long enough to see the end of this one.

I have a ton of Kent combs. So I thought I'd spend the money on a nice brush from the makers of my favorite comb maker. WELL worth the money.. The bristles are softer than I thought they would be and very tightly compacted together but, it works well as a finish brush. I use a comb after I use my beard oil...Then I use a coarse brush to start my styling ... then I use this brush to finish off with.. It gets any fly away hairs and puts them in their place. Also the brush looks awesome (with awesome packaging). Very ergonomical to hold in your hand and use.On the downside.. (maybe) Not really a downside for me, but you may not like it.. The wood of this brush is 100% natural with no stain or sealer of any kind.. So oils from your hands WILL kinda stain the handle.. I like how it looks as it ages. So I don't think it a downside. If you don't like this idea you could seal it I'm sure. Or at least DO NOT rub in beard oil then use this brush, wash your hands first.

At the beginning I was hesitatant because of the steep price. The bristles were soft compare to other brushes I own. But I must say that the feel is unique. Superb quality brush.

There's a lot to love about this brush, but a few cons as well. It's a high quality brush with some very unique design elements, but those design elements will be the reason you either love or hate this brush. Overall, I recommend it if you can work with its design intent, rather than expecting it to be something it's not.The pistol-grip handle fits the hand very ergonomically for right-handed people. (NOTE: Kent also makes a left-handed version as well, although no one on Amazon seems to sell it.) However, while the handle has been sanded, it's been left as a natural wood grip rather than polished smooth or coated in varnish. This improves grip, but (to me) feels a bit unfinished somehow.The specially-angled brush head is amazing, as long as you work it it instead of against it. In practice, this means using the right-handed brush only with your right hand, not attempting upward strokes with your neck beard, and mostly focusing on downstrokes rather than left or right sidestrokes on your mustache. Doing anything else requires a very awkward grip on the specially-designed handle, and flipping the brush head in odd ways to ensure strokes start with the short bristles.The angled head and varied-length tufts ensure even coverage through the beard, including underneath to the skin with the long bristles, and along the tops of the whiskers with the shorter tufts. The white boar bristles are stiff enough for thorough penetration, but soft enough not to irritate sensitive skin (even with a brand new brush) as long as you aren't overly vigorous about it.Because these brushes are imported from the UK, most sellers on Amazon are charging 50-100% more than the retail cost of the brushes direct from the manufacturer. That makes them pricier than they should be, but still worth the money if the unique aspects of this brush work for your beard type and grooming routine.Overall, I like this brush as a detangling and smoothing brush despite its various drawbacks. This model won't work for everyone, though. This is especially true is using the right-handed model for lefties, or people with whorls or grains in their beard that don't fit the use case of the brush head design. Your mileage will therefore vary tremendously.

Having tried numerous beard brushes for my beard, this product is the BEST for keeping my beard well-tamed. The unique design of the brush makes it the PERFECT BEARD BRUSH on the market. Although a little pricy, it is worth it. This brush has been manufactured in England for almost 100 years! I guarantee you will enjoy this brush each and every time you use it. And the women will appreciate your enhanced look!!!!!

I bought two of these before back in 2017 and 2018, well made. Just ordered 3 November 25, 2023 (at much higher price) and received what appear to be knock off versions of the real original ones. Everything from the bag to the brush, not built as before. Brush doesn't even fit in the bag?!?! Cheap. Is all I can say, I do not recommend and will never buy again.

I expected a 60 dollar brush to be a little larger. Since it was a gift to a person with an extreme beard I don't think he was impressed for the cost and size.

Order came in on time! Brush is beautiful to look at and hold. It's very soft and will be a final grooming and touch up brush. I feel like my boar hair brush penetrates through my beard to my skin better for oil/balm distribution. This brush feels fantastic against the skin, tames all my curly disruptive hairs and leaves both sheen and uniformity to my beard. Experts say to brush your beard only once or twice a day to avoid pulling out follicles, but with this brush I don't think you would ever have that problem, it's really soft! Monster emblem is cool, and the box folds out into a small cardboard monster poster(ish) thing. This thing feels like 100 bucks when you pick it up, as all Kent products seem to. Bottom line is, if you like to pamper yourself with luxury things buy it you'll like it!
