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.

Braw Boar Beard brush,
Had this Brush for a Gift last Yule & this brush is Absolutely Brawsome compared to all others I’ve tried, My beard is some 21" long & the curved brush contours your face so no harshness in 1 place like other flat brushes, narrow enough for your Tash & Medium bristles ain’t too harsh on your face & don’t snagg down the full length of my Beard,
Great for distribution of oils also ive found & its awesome on ya bollock hairs to satisfy an itch.!!
Would highly recommend 5 stars.!!
Hopefully i will snagg a Cap this year also.!!

The best beard wash and oil I have ever used highly recommend
First ever order. Its been a week or so now and i have to say im very impressed. Pretty eager to work my way through the other oils, balms etc.
Defo gonna have to get ma hands on the bobble hat too.🤙
Great products I've tried so far and beard has never looked or felt better. New customer and within 1 week of using I've ordered another batch so I have products at both my home and my fiancé's.
I have receive the mystery box from braw beard and first thing in the morning I use one of the 4 mystery beard oil and I felt really awesome!!! And got wallet, hats and Especially my itchy and dandruff beard which finally clear up and comfortable I ever felt good and thank you Braw Beard that make my day !!
Recieved my order and what else can i say about the products first the tee shirt loved the design then pulled it on it fitted perfect and the material was quality. Tried the beard oil next absolutely loved it gently scent and the hold lasts for days leaving my beard soft in shape and looking awesome
I have been using Braw beard products for 6 months now and have noticed a vast improvement in my beard game. My beard is looking healthy and feeling the best it has ever felt!
I 1000% recommend Braw beard. Not only are the beard products top notch, but the merch is too.
Keep up the amazing work! I am so happy to be part of the Brawtherhood. Keep it bearded legends 🤘👍
The new Braw t-shirt with the tragic O'Hara design on the chest part is a great design and makes it classy. The back would even look better if it were possible to inject some colour
Keepin' it peel is a great addition to the line up of Beard Butters avalable from Braw Beard, with the summer months on the way, keepin' it peel is a nice fragrant zesty scent, nice and fresh for those long,warm summer days, keeps your beard looking and smelling amazing.
The large beard Gold level Quarterly subscription box is a great product, especially if you are a bit forgetful like me, with the subscription box I know that every 3 months I'm guarnteed to get my essential beard care supplies, with the added bonus of 3 free shipping codes if I do need to top up in between subscription deliveries.
