Collection: Boar, Hog & Horse Hair Shaving Brushes
Shop boar, hog and horse hair shaving brushes for natural-bristle wet shaving, firmer backbone and traditional soap loading. Boar brushes often feel firm at first and soften with use, while horse hair brushes can feel more flexible depending on the knot and handle style.
For boar brushes, compare the Proraso Professional Boar Bristle Shaving Brush, Semogue Hereditas 1470 Best Boar, Semogue 610 Extra Boar, Semogue SOC-C5 Selected Premium Boar and Alexander Simpson Farringdon Boar Bristle Brush. Horse hair options sit here where available.
Choose this collection if you like backbone and a brush that develops character over time. For softer natural hair, compare badger shaving brushes, or choose synthetic shaving brushes for fast drying and no break-in period.

About Boar, Hog & Horse Hair Shaving Brushes
About Boar, Hog, and Horse Hair Brushes
Boar, hog, and horse hair shaving brushes are natural-bristle options for traditional wet shaving. This collection includes the Proraso Professional Boar Bristle Shaving Brush, Semogue Hereditas 1470 Best Boar Shaving Brush, Alexander Simpson Farringdon Boar Bristle Brush, and horse hair options such as the Semogue Pharos-C3 Pure Black Horse Brush.
Break-In and Brush Feel
Boar brushes usually feel firmer at first, then soften as the tips split with use. That break-in period is one of the main differences from synthetic shaving brushes. If you enjoy more backbone for loading hard shaving soap, boar is worth considering.
Semogue, Proraso, Simpson, and Omega
Semogue offers many traditional boar and horse hair brushes, including the Semogue 610 Extra Boar and Semogue SOC-C5 Selected Premium Boar Ash Wood. The Proraso Professional Shaving Brush is a large classic boar option, while the Omega Badger Imitation Hog Bristle Brush gives another compact natural-feel choice.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a boar shaving brush best for?
A boar shaving brush is useful when you want backbone for loading harder shaving soap. It usually feels firmer at first and softens as it breaks in.
Do boar brushes need breaking in?
Yes. Boar bristles normally soften and split at the tips with repeated use. Rinse the brush well, let it dry properly and expect the feel to improve over time.
What is the difference between boar and horse hair brushes?
Boar brushes usually feel firmer and are popular for soap loading. Horse hair brushes can feel more flexible, depending on the knot. Compare with synthetic shaving brushes if you want faster drying.

Amazing razor. Very close shave and great feeling using it. It should last forever
Great quality and pairs beautifully with the Henson Razor
Just thought I would do an update. I tried one of the free RK blades today, terrible. You will not appreciate how good this razor is with these blades. If you are new to DE shaving DO GET Astra blades. My previous review was with my usual Astra blades, superb and a completly different shave with these blades. Have yet to try my Feather blades but expecting great results with those too. Male Grooming Supplies, why are you promoting such a poor blade with such a great shaver. If its Henson doing this, tell them. At the very least throw in a pack of Astras for anyone new to shaving. This review is here to help you. Its a BRILLIANT shave, with the right blade.
Great shave, great service. This Henson medium is a lovely razor and easy to get used to its design. Only downside is it doesn’t stand up, but that’s not going to take away from how good it is or the helpful conversation I had with the customer support team
Seems expensive at first , but when you get the sheath , superior materials and it is a life long purchase after all it ain’t that bad . Prefer it to my futur which I’ve used for 7 years ( set on 1 to avoid knicks ) as it’s a bit more nimble . Feels great in the hand and is top quality .
Been wanting to move away from disposable razors for use on my head and was recommended the AL13. It’s epic…
Very well made travel brush tube
I had a different version of this razor a few years ago and having liked the design and look I thought I'll take a gamble and buy the real thing as it's so appealing to look at. I've read many reviews and even watched YouTube videos about this razor so I've done me homework. My first shave with it was on setting 1.5 as I thought I'll take it easy and slow till I get the feel of the razor. I done a wtg then xtg using a derby premium blade then I changed it to the Merkur blade supplied for the 3rd pass atg as the Derby was struggling a bit as I had a week's growth. I waited 3 days before I had my second shave with it and this time I put it on setting 3 for wtg then 2 for xtg and finally 1 for atg using a Gillette Wilkinson saloon blade and the shave was so satisfying, smooth and a bbs. It's a hefty razor so a gentle touch is all that's needed with zero pressure and this razor sings to you as it takes your whiskers off with ease. So glad I bought it as it's a keeper for sure and as I'm not a daily shaver this serves my needs perfectly. If I go a full week again without shaving I'll go even higher like a 4 or 5 on the settings and take my time. To me shaving is not to be rushed but enjoyed by taking your time and this razor seems perfect to me for that. The very reasonable price was a deciding factor in me buying this razor with a 10% off at checkout plus the despatch and delivery was spot on. 😀👍
I have the Henson AL13 Safety Razor V2.0 - Aircraft Aluminium, and this stand fits the razor perfectly. Great for resting the razor whilst it dries and for storing.
