Boars hair brushes...

Sorry I know this has been discussed as I did a search, however I have noticed the only one that seems to have been mentioned is the Griots one. I have used a boars hair brush for over 10 years now. One of the problems is that my Dad has mine at their house and I doubt I can get it back.



Anyone know of other brushes available besides the Griots one?
 
Yeah, that is the problem... It has no name on it. I bought it way back when at Auto Addictions in Pennsylvania...



Duh, Never even thought of calling them... LOL!
 
ESP- As the forum's unofficial Griot's Boar's Hair Brush Fanatic, I'd say just order one (or two; I use a pair) from them. At least you can trust them to sell you a good product. And anyhow, the old one probably needs replaced by now. The split bristle-ends of mine finally wore down (after many years of use) and the new one was noticeabley more gentle.
 
Guess that is what I will end up doing. I don't have a problem with most of the Griots stuff, I know it is good stuff, but some of their items you can find for less and they are the same product.



Believe it or not the brush I got some 10 years ago is just as good, maybe even better than when I got it.. I figured the tips would wear out by now but it has not. I used to "professionally" detail at the performance/car stereo shop I worked in and on the side. That brush has prob. seen well over 300 cars per year for a soild 5-6 years. Now my parents use it weekly on their cars.



Ok, well it looks like Griots will be getting a call very soon and I will join in the fanaticism over the Boars Hair Brush.

FYI Boar's Hair Brush $49.95
 
ESP- My original BHB's were from someone else also. I was sorta surprised at how softer the Griot's ones felt. If you get one from Griot's, compare 'em sometime at your Dad's place.



EDBSO- That brush looks very good. Maybe someone could get one and compare it with a Griot's. See if there's any functional differences (and whether or not it's really all boar's hair). I'd better be quiet here or someone will volunteer ME :D



Griot's has switched to a plastic handle. I didn't think I'd like it (I'm sorta old-school about these things) but now I sorta like it better. I never had a problem with the wood ones, but the plastic is TOTALLY maintenance-free.



BTW, I can't say enough about how great the small boar's hair "detail" brushes are for nooks and crannies :xyxthumbs Can't imagine a better way to wash doorjambs, fuel filler pockets, etc.
