Boar Bristle Brush
The traditional brush that distributes sebum and beard oil evenly along the hair shaft.
A boar bristle brush uses stiff, keratin-based bristles from farmed boars. Because boar bristle is chemically similar to human hair, it grips the beard without static and picks up sebum from the skin, distributing it along the entire hair shaft. This is why boar bristle brushes make beards look shinier and healthier without adding product.

Why boar bristle outperforms plastic and metal brushes
Plastic and metal bristles slide over sebum — boar bristle grips and moves it. That single difference is what turns a brush from a styling tool into a conditioning tool. Combined with the Grizzly Gold Standard Beard Oil, a boar bristle brush is the fastest way to a groomed beard.
