Pear Wood 100% Boar Bristle Medium Beard Brush with Handle

Bristle Type: Medium first cut

Bristle Firmness: Medium

Best For: All beards, but especially beneficial for thinner and/or shorter beards

Expertise: Our Medium Beard Brush with Handle has both an extra row of bristles and a denser distribution of bristles in comparison to the Small Beard Brush with Handle. This means you get even penetration and larger surface area coverage. Medium first cut bristles are softer than firm first cut bristles, so this brush is safe for sensitive skin.

Should you plan to spend a good chunk of time brushing your beard, the larger size of the Medium Beard Brush with Handle means it’ll stay comfortable in your hand.
