Hey Colleen,
I’m really sorry to hear that brush arrived with residue on it! That is no good at all and certainly not normal. Thanks for letting us know!
I’d be happy to send a replacement brush out to you. Could you please shoot us an email at [email protected] so we can get you taken care of?
So sorry again about this! Thanks for giving us a chance to make things right.

I received my brush with a bunch of residue on it. Not happy. This cleaning method didn’t work.

Hey Paul,
Great to hear you got your Beard Oil Brush and Dry Oil! Let us know how you like them once you’ve had a chance to try them out.
Great question!
If you’re applying the Dry Oil daily or several times a week using the Beard Oil Brush then I’d recommend cleaning the brush every three months or so. This will help keep it fresh and minimize any build up. Of course if you find you need to clean it more or less often, make that adjustment :)
Cheers,
Tim

Just got my brush and dry oil today super pumped to use it. Quick question though, how often should it be cleaned?
Thanks,

Hey Matt,
Tim here again. Thanks for your patience while I checked on where the horsehair for the Beard Oil Brush comes from. For the brushes, our supplier told me that the hair is clipped from either the mane or the tail. I would assume that this is done during routine grooming because I can’t see people raising and keeping horses just to harvest their hair. It would be a terrible business model :)
Let me know if I can help with anything else, ok?
Enjoy your day!

Hey Matt,
Tim here. Thanks for checking on the horse hair we use for the Beard Oil Brush. I’m checking with the fellas as I’m not actually sure. I would be shocked if there was any cruelty or bad ethics involved! I’ll get back to you as soon as I have more info.
Cheers,
Tim

Hi! There is no information of the source of the horse hair used in the brush. Is it collected cruelty free? Maybe from the regular grooming of the horses? Maybe something else? I really like the brush but would first like to make sure Of that. Thank you!

Hey Nick,
So sorry to hear about the troubles with the Beard Oil Brush! That’s definitely not good to have your girlfriend not want to get near you. The brush is made with real horse hair so can have a bit of a horse smell sometimes. Using a scented oil and washing usually helps. Could you shoot us an email at [email protected] so we can get you taken care of? For now I’d recommend just applying the beard oil by hand so you can be close to your girlfriend again. :D
Cheers,
Tim

I’m having some difficulty. I’ve used the rich twice and my girlfriend really disliked the smell of my beard after purchasing oil and brush from a dealer. The next day, I’ve narrowed down the smell is coming from the brush and not the unscented oil. I’ve followed the cleaning instructions but the awful smell persists. I am very unsatisfied with this purchase at the moment. So far I’ve washed and dried according to instructions half a dozen times and still smells like… not sure how to describe the stench that keeps my girlfriend at two arm’s length… but it’s not good.

Hey Ali,
Thanks for checking on that smell. The Beard Oil Brush is made with wood and horse hair so there can be a bit of a smell. Since it is natural there isn’t a lot that can be done. One idea would be to use the Beard Oil Brush to apply some of our scented oils. This will make the brush smell more like our oils and less like the horse hair. Hope that helps!
Cheers,
Tim
