Boar & Horse Hair Shaving Brushes

Boar hair brushes are ideal for those who enjoy a firmer, more exfoliating feel. They require a bit more break-in time but are a great option for beginners. After about a month of daily use, you'll notice a significant improvement in their quality as they soften and reach their optimal performance.

Horsehair is softer and thinner, making it a better choice if you have sensitive skin as it will be less abrasive on your face. When new, natural animal bristle brushes may have a slight initial odor that diminishes with use over time. 

Some brushes combine badger hair and boar bristles known as mixed bristles. These offer a balance of softness and stiffness, providing a good mix of exfoliation and comfort.

Both types of brushes are ethically produced from natural hairs and come in a variety of handles to choose from — ideal if you’re looking for a high-quality shaving brush.
