Kent Brushes are some of the finest brushes and combs you can purchase in the mens hair care industry. They are made from extremely high quality materials and made to last a lifetime.

This brush is absolutely ingenious. Not too firm, yet not too soft, the asymmetrically cut bristles make effortless work of even the coarsest beards, leaving results that many other high end brushes can't touch. Distributes oil evenly. Leaves your beard well groomed and silky smooth. Beautiful, ergonomic handle. This brush is built to last for decades.

What to look for in a beard brush.

Most beard brushes are going to be made from a boar hair of some type as this is one of the few hairs that are stiff enough to really work for most mens beards. But there are a few things to look out for.

Brush Hair Type

• Boar Hair - This will be the most common that you find a brush and the quality of the boar hair will range from first cut hair that is closest to the animals skin all the way to top cut
  
  
• Synthetic - This will be a great option if you aren't down with the whole killing animals to get their hair. Synthetic brushes are made of plastic fibers and will usually deliver the same results for often a cheaper price

Brush Shape & Size

This will be entirely your personal preference. I like a round brush that fits in my palm. Some men will prefer a more rectangular shaped brush with a handle. I'd say go with what you know and trust.

ZEUS 100% Boar Bristle Pocket Beard Brush for Men

Without reiterating the promotional bullet points, this brush is everything it claims to be, with a high value/price ratio. The hardwood handle is not polished or coated (in high gloss urethane or the like, resulting in a higher frictional grip with zero slippage, especially with the presence of beard oils and/or balms/waxes

It's stiff, first cut boar's bristles are not densely packed, so as to serve as a bit of a, if you will, "hybrid comb/brush", enabling even better styling. Lastly, it is very well made, of high quality materials, and, anticipated, high durability.

Beard Brush & Comb Set for Men's Care

The woodwork is spectacular and extremely masculine which was very satisfying. The brush was the perfect blend of firm and soft and the comb glides deep and smooth through your beard, even with no extra product applied.

This comb is a perfect beard detangler. Definitely worth the price and great that it's included in this kit. The brush does look a bit larger in the photos than it actually is in real life so don't let the size of the stock photography fool you.

Overall it's great value for money.

So far this is a great beard brush. Good fit and feel in my hands. I like the way it moves through my beard. Spreads my beard oil nicely as well. Bristles seem to be just hard enough without being uncomfortable on my skin. 

It's just big enough to fit nicely in my hand, with plenty of maneuverability while brushing. Not too small not too large! There really isn't much to rave or rant about when it comes to a good quality brush.

Arkam Beard Straightener for Men

I know this isn't technically a beard brush, but I figured that I would include it in the list as it solves the issues of getting your beard hair straight and this is one of the primary reason you wan to use a beard brush.

It has the capability of heating up to hotter temps than most for the most unruly beards. I can also keep it low and gentle temps for quick freshen ups. It looks great. Came in stylish packaging and I also received a nice bag for travel. It has very easy to use buttons and digital screen read outs. The brush itself works great and doesn't pull hair. It only takes a few passes. This is a great product and well worth the money.

This brush is very good for the price. The overall craftsmanship is good and it works very well on my beard. I haven't had any problems with bristles falling out. It still has what looks like hair follicles on a lot of the bristles. It doesn't really bother me and the brush works very well, but it's a little odd that these wouldn't be trimmed off
