Classic brushes from the 18th century

 

 

G.B. KENT is founded in 1777 in Apsley, the U.K. The brand manufactures various brushes such as for hair, clothes, make-up, shaving, and so on. Some of the brushes are still 100% handmade, and its sophisticated skills and quality have been maintained for over 230 years. G.B. KENT has also been recognized by the granting of Royal Warrants for nine reigns.

 

 

Secret in the bristles

 

 

Bristle is the most important element for G.B. KENT's brushes. The bristles, which are made of the natural boar bristle, are covered by the scales. These scales remove dirt and dust from clothes or hair as you brush. Also, because the bristles are made from the protein, they never damage clothes and hair.

How to clean clothes brushes

 

 

 

When you find dirt, dust or hair remain inside the bristles, use a comb to remove them from the tufts.

Washing the brush with cloth detergent is also effective. Soak only the part of the bristle. After you rinse in water, wipe with a clean towel. Then, make sure to dry the brush well as the bristles are face down.  Never place under the direct sun, and keep away from hairdryers.
