We get asked often, which is the winner, a beard brush vs comb.
They both have their unique functions, Braw Beard offer both but we've designed them to work independently as well as together. Let me explain the differences below and then I'll tell you why I use them together.
Beard brush vs comb

With there being so many beard brushes on the market right now, it can be difficult to find the right one for you. There are options out there with soft, medium or hard bristles. Handle vs no handle etc.
We decided to go with medium strength bristles as a good all rounder. If they're too soft, the bristles will just fold and not do their intended job. If the bristles are too firm, they can damage the hair and follicles, resulting in a tender and brittle beard.
Our medium strength bristles work well. They do a great job of separating hairs as intended, as well as gently exfoliating the skin beneath your beard to eliminate dandruff/dead skin.
The boar bristle profile is curved too, we chose this design to suit the contours of your face for maximum effect. Plus, we wanted to have a handle for ease of use. The Braw Beard brush is pocket sized & made from bamboo.
Our Braw Beard brush is suitable for all beard types, from short to long. If you have a short beard, the brush is the best option for you because it separates the hair while evenly distributing Braw Beard oil or beard balm. As mentioned earlier, it also does a great job of exfoliating too.
However, if you have a long beard, consider adding a Braw Beard comb to your kit, here's why...
Beard comb benefits

The Braw Beard comb is a great tool for detangling long beard hair. It is made from sandalwood and we designed it with some key features that many other beard combs lack.
First, the teeth spacing is a key feature. Beards are more coarse than head hair, so if the teeth on your beard brush are too close together, they will snag and damage the beard hair. If the teeth are far too wide apart, they'll miss the majority of hairs and not comb as in tended. After trial and error, we settled on spacing that performed best for us.
Next, rounded teeth. Many cheaper combs have square edges on their beard comb teeth. Sharp edges can slice and damage beard hair as the comb glides through, we rounded ours to prevent that.
Lastly, the Braw Beard comb is pocket sized. Because you take your beard everywhere you go, you should be able to easily carry your comb too. If your long beard gets caught in the wind, rain or is just feeling a bit straggly, a pocket sized beard comb is the tool you need. The Braw Beard comb comes in a handy wee protective pouch too.
Beard brush vs comb? Personally I use both, here's my routine:
1 – I wash my beard in the shower with Braw Beard Wash.
2 – Once gently towel-dried, I apply some Braw Beard Oil.
3 – Then comb it through to detangle any snags.
4 – Next I apply some Braw Beard Butter (which also acts as a moisturiser for the follicles)
5 – Finally brush through with the Braw Boar Bristle Brush to evenly distribute the butter, giving hold and a fuller look.
I hope this helps explains a beard brush vs comb...or both.
Thank you for reading.

Great for distribution of oils also ive found & its awesome on ya bollock hairs to satisfy an itch.!!

Easy ordering process, with good comms re. when to expect delivery and updates. Delivered to a safe place as requested and, the end result was a great product to use.
I’ve been using Brawbeard for about two years. My beard is soft, healthy and I have no itching or flaking. Every time I see my barber they always say how great and healthy my beard looks.
Having tried other brands, this is far better. As per JJ’s video, just a small amount required, rub it between the palm of your hands and it is easily applied. Smells good too.
I have been using Braw Beard oils for almost one year now and have noticed a MASSIVE improvement in my beard game. I have stuck to a more regimented routine of washing my beard with the amazing beard wash, the amazing beard oils and butters. Also using the best combs and brushes on the market.
Not only are the beard products and merch second to none, the Brawtherhood community is full of amazing people and beards!
Keep up the amazing Work!! Cannot wait to see where Braw goes and Happy 13th birthday Braw Beard!!🤘🤘
Just received the braw beard Ebook which was a free download.It has some great information on how to look after your beard.It discribes the different rates of hair growth and how to get the best out of the various beard products! A first class Ebook.
I decided to order a Mystery box for the first time and I have been buying braw products for nearly 10 years.
I have pretty much every T-shirt and I have be using as many as the beard products as possible.
The box was filled with goodies and I will definitely be buying another one in the future.
Cheers Lyall
Out with the old and in with the new, after about 10 years of use and a recent washing machine incident my original Braw Beard money clip wallet had to be replaced, loving the look of the new one with the green carbon fibre effect, here’s to another 10 years
Been using Braw products for at least 5 years and love them. Every now and then another product catches my eye and I'll give them a try. Often disappointed and always come back to Brawbeard, it is the best!!
