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...

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.

I avoided purchasing this particular oil, as I don't like Eucalyptus. But fortunately the Eucalyptus isn't overpowering and actually compliments the other scents in this oil.
Amazing product. Smells wicked feels good in beard not too thin. Lasts a while extremely good company and customer care. First order but deffinatly not my last👍👍
I’m 5 months into my full on beard journey. Having sported a goatee for many years, & having tried the full beard many times, but gave up after a maximum of 3 months every time. This time I’m in it for the haul. I’ve been using products off the supermarket shelves, & boy it wasn’t going well. Bearddruff is real, & it was bad, & the beard looked scruffy as **** no matter what Imtried, more product ! Even more product ! Less or no product ! Didn’t help. I was about to shave, thinking the bearded life just wasn’t going to happen for me. But then I found Braw Beard & all their products. I loved the instagram reels, informative & encouraging. JJ is a great ambassador for his homegrown business & easily watchable on his reels etc. I took the plunge, & what can I say ! I wish I’d jumped in sooner. The products work, like ACTUALLY work. I have the beard wash & oil & beard butter. No bearddruff, beard looks & feels like I want it to. People close to me who previously kept asking when I was going to shave, are now asking what I’m doing differently, because now there not so eager to shave me in my sleep haha Can’t wait to work my way through all the different scented oils & butters etc. can not recommend enough 👍
I’ve been using Wulver amongst many beard products for 10 years now. It’s amazing, softens and conditions my beard and skin brilliantly and has a great unique scent. Order was packaged well and dispatched really quickly. I don’t think there’s a better beard oil on the market, and when matched with the customer service it’s truly a little bottle of awesome.
Really enjoying the products.... been using the oil a bit longer and it has made a huge difference to my beard... it feels thicker and no longer feels dry and wirery... now I have the wash too the combination has enhanced it further.... thanks JJ
Simply put an amazing beard shampoo. You only need to use sparingly, depending on beard length of course. Leaves no residue and a silky finish ready for a splash of braw oil and maybe a wee touch up with some butter if it's a bit blowy out. 10/10
Another excellent addition to the collection. Classic styling and a great fit (I'm a bigger fella) I bought XL and it's not too baggy and not too tight. The Mrs loves it too. 10/10
Braw Heather. Been a long time go to for me and remains excellent as I have a longer beard and this fella keeps it smooth and silky without weighing it down or leaving it feeling greasy like other products have done in the past.
Fantastic value as it will last ages and I use it every couple of days. Usually the first thing in my basket when I'm on the braw store. 10/10
My delivery came lot, through a fault of my own I didn't check the website where it said that the beard wash was running late... Anyway, it turned up and wow, great products, smells amazing. Can't fault it, the owner was quick to respond as well, my now to to beard products.
I used to never be bothered about beard products til I gave this a try. The difference is unreal. Beard looks great. Sadly can’t say that about the rest of me
