Mason Pearson Handy Pure Boar Bristle Hair Brush

A "handy" size brush with 6 rings of stiff boar bristle tufts. The brush is 8 1/2 inches long (head length is 4 3/8 inches) and 2 1/2 inches wide. The boar bristle is recommended for fine to normal hair while the handy size makes it ideal for short to long length hair. Mason Pearson Hairbrushes of London, England was established as a premier hairbrush manufacturer in the 1860s. From the time of its inception the company has pioneered hairbrushes that are designed to maximize the health and appearance of the hair and scalp. In 1885, Mason Pearson invented and patented the pneumatic cushion for the hairbrush, thus creating a unique brush that retains its desirability as an elegant cosmetic accessory to this day. The brush is produced in the "old world" manner, with many steps executed by hand and extra care taken to create a magnificent hair product. Mason Pearson's ingenious brush construction achieves the desired type of scalp stimulation by adjusting automatically to the contour of the scalp without irritation. Equally important is the quality of the bristles. Mason Pearson uses only the finest quality natural bristle from the wild boar-preferably from the colder climates, where boar bristle grows heavy and strong for protection. Animals are not harmed in the collection of bristle.
