Is this brush made with 100% boar bristles?

YEs, but there is the bristles on the animal that are thick and hard, and then there are those that are soft. I do not know the anatomy of a boar, but I do know that the softer bristles are more expensive and sought after. They have small "holes" in them that are microscopic that help to carry the natural hair oils through your hair while massaging the scalp as well. With this brush, it has the cheaper, stiffer bristles, you can use it to wash your car tires with no problem. I gave the brush to my wife, she has long thick hair. Its ok for her.

Not sure but it's a very synthetic feeling brush. Not tapered or fluffy at all.

It must be real boar, all I know is that it's the only brush that I have used for the past 20 years,and I love it.

The package says 100% natural bristle, When I feel it, it seems to be more like the rough vegetable loofa type fiber. It does not say boars bristle. Hope this helps,

I don't know for sure. Not that familiar with veganism. Would doubt they're made with animal products. I'm sure the bristles are synthetic no animal hair.

No it's not. The heavy duty castiron grates are removable,and make cleanup a breeze. Any stiff bristle brush will work just fine.

Yes... It is a bristle. It is probably about middle of the road or slightly less overall. You won't be disappointed, but likely will not write poetry about it either. I upgraded mine to a blade 4... Which I stinking love!!!

No, it does not come with a brush. It does come witha "hogs hair" scrubbing that works very well.

No, the only brush is the hand-held tool. But I find it to be extremely effective for spills or pet messes.

Absolutely!! A sample of this came with the brush and that is how I discovered it.

No...this is a nylon bristle brush. They are mostly used by those with ethnic hair. Too bad the store doesn't sell them anymore. Go figure

It is not to my taste as a brush, so I bought a pure boar and gave this synthetic one to Goodwill. But, it is a standard size as I remember.

I'm sure you Could, but the bristles aren't as stiff or as dense as a traditional boar bristle hair brush.

I am 61 years old and have fine but fairly thick hair. The Mason Pearson with not pull or break your hair when you brush through it. It is very effective but doesn't cause any damage. I have used one since I was in my 20's and I can assure you that it is one of the best brushes I have ever used. I have tried all brands and pure boar bristle brushes but the combination of the nylon/boar bristle far surpasses any I have used. Hope this helps you make your decision to buy one.

My guess is that it gets my scalp going. I recall boar bristles as being scrtachy or soft. The bamboo pegs on these have round bulby tips that flex so they give my head a real good rub.
