Review (2/5): More than just Boar
I should have heeded the less than favorable reviews on this product. Near as I can tell, this brush is not 100% boar bristle. When I fist got the brush, I ran my hands over the bristles. About ten of them fell out in the sink, they were un-naturally v shaped, folded in half. A natural hair, cannot be made to hold this shape, unless this is its natural shape. Last I checked, boar bristles are straight. Then there was the burn test, hair should ignite and go to a soft grey ash. This curled back from the flame into a ball, that when crushed was very black like charcoal. The brush makes my hair go very flat to my head and have a lot of static when touched. The rubber pad, could be contributing to this. The wood handle is nice. This may have some boar bristles, but this benefit is lost due to the "other" bristles.
