Ya know, ever since I started using a shaving brush I've been brushing my hair with natural bristle hair brushes and found them to be the best ever. I only use a comb now on my moustache. The wax sorta gums up the bristles on my hairbrushes too.
Any opinions on hairbrushes out there?

I keep my hair very short lately, so don't use a brush, but I've used in the past:

on the low end: Bass (wild boar)

on the high end: Kent

Kent is far superior.

What is the advantage of a high end brush? Or any brush at all, for that matter?

I'm with Mo. Help me out you guys who use the natural bristles brushes. My hair is fine stranded but I have a lot of it. Kind of a George Clooney cut. In the winter time I get extremely dry scalp. Lots of flakies but it's not really dandruff, just dry scalp. I've heard that a good brushing helps to stimulate the hair folicles and massage the scalp. Other than the Kent, are there any other brushes I should be looking at? BTW, the only Kent I would consider luxury priced are the handmade military style brushes at about $150 each. The machine made ones are not bad at $28-40 apiece.

Regards, Todd

I use the Kent military brush. It does stimulate the scalp when I use it. I also like the military brushes from Caswell Massey. To me they are comparable to the Kents at a much better price point.

I have short hair and use the Kent MS 11, and enjoy it greatly. Do I need it, probably not. I have found that my scalp feels better for it.
