The Grooming Starter — Hair & Beard Gift Set

A military hair brush, also called an oval club brush, is a short-handled oval-shaped brush traditionally used by men for quick, effective hair grooming. The Kent MG2 uses pure white boar bristle set into a solid wood handle. It is designed to be held flat in the palm and worked over the hair in sweeping strokes. The boar bristle conditions hair while smoothing and adds a natural shine without any product.

Yes. Boar bristle works by picking up the sebum produced by your scalp and distributing it along the hair shaft from root to tip. Regular brushing with the Kent MG2 reduces frizz, adds natural shine, smooths the cuticle, and gradually reduces the need for styling products. It is conditioning while you groom, not just styling.

Hair brushes like the Kent MG2 use softer, more widely spaced bristles designed to glide through longer scalp hair without tugging. Beard brushes like the Kent BRD6 use firmer, more densely packed bristles because beard hair is coarser than scalp hair and needs a stiffer brush to penetrate and train it. Each tool is cut for its specific purpose.

Apply a few drops of beard oil or a small amount of beard balm to your palm, work it into your beard with your fingers, then follow with the Kent BRD6. Brush in the direction of beard growth using firm, even strokes, typically downward on the cheeks and chin and outward on the mustache. The brush distributes the product you have applied, smooths hairs into alignment, and works the oil into the skin underneath.

Yes. The Kent MG2 pure white boar bristle is softer than black boar, making it well-suited for fine, normal, or shorter hair. White boar produces less friction and delivers the conditioning benefits of natural bristle without the firmness that can feel scratchy on a fine or sensitive scalp. If you have very thick or coarse hair, the MG2 still works well.
