Was this the SB3 sensitive version? or the regular B3?

Your brush looks real. I was lucky to find a real BN1 & BN2 on the bay. I was told Costco are not authentic. Those think black boar bristles are very special.

I wrote Mason Pearson & a rep from Harry Koenig the dist in US got back to me next day. I am also looking into the B3 Handy. Some of the info I got from another Stephanie was very informative. The bristle and/or nylon are dry when the hairbrush is bought (we have to have them in a dry state in order to work with them) and it needs to absorb some of the natural oils and moisture from the hair, unique to each of us, until both are in equilibrium. So after a while it should settle down. Thus the bristle & the hair it is brushing both become conditioned during the brushing process. Each time you wash your hair you are effectively stripping your hair of its natural oils and moisture, The more often you wash your hair the longer it will take for the bristle/nylon to be able to absorb the oil and moisture from your hair. It would be wise to persevere with using the hairbrush so that it can take up the natural oils and moisture from the hair - but without applying too much pressure when brushing the hair. Often if people have not used a Mason Pearson hairbrush before they can be very surprised by how stiff the bristles feel. For people who have used a Mason Pearson hairbrush before, the new brush can often feel stiff because they are comparing it (often subconsciously) to their old brush, which has softened up because it has taken up the natural oils and moisture from the hair. However, there is a short fix you could try, that is to soak the pad (bristle tips only) in water so that the process is accelerated and not to wet clean the hairbrush too often to start with until you get the balance right, but being extremely careful not to let any water come into contact with the rubber pad.

I agree. I’ve had a wooden brush from TEK that cost me about $30, and has been my favourite ever, and I’m really into brushing my hair. So I thought that I wanted to level up, and dribbled over the large pure boar brush. I finally got it today from a very fancy salon, and it cost me 2300kr ($245) thinking that this will be my go-to... I got to take a look at the brush before I bought it, and thought it looked very plasticy, so I asked the salesperson if it’s real boar. She had to ask another stylist since she was not sure.. «Yes, it’s boar» she said So I paid, excited walking home and tried it at once. I was dissapointed immidiately by the feel of the bristles. They were scratching my scalp in ways only the broken hairbrushes I own has ever done. Only on all the bristles... That is because they are cut straight off, and have sharp edges. They did not look anything like my previous boar brushes, they lacked the softness, fluff, flexibility and blonde tips. They have this super shiney look. And since that was disapointing, I have to pick at something else. The fact that the handle is made of plastic. I’ve gotten cheaper brushes with wood everything and been so happy with the quality! Another thing is that it doesnt penetrate very good to my scalp, which I was expecting since I’ve got kinda thick hair, but when it does it hurts Dx Was searching for similar experiences with the brush

did you find out if it was real?

I bought one from ebay, after two years the bristles fell apart, maybe it was a fake.

Hi, Did you ever find out if your brush was real?

This was a reply to someone who also thought they purchased a fake: Dear Mrs. Culler, Thank you for your concerned e-mail. The code you have given us is consistent with the model marked on the label. It is not often that we have somebody think that black bristle is nylon, but it shows your attention to detail and interest in what you have around you. We lost a trading customer in Spain some years ago because the buyer's considered opinion was that the bristle could not ever be so stiff and their "proof" was that there was no trace of brown or white strands and there were no telltale pieces of the bristle root on the tips (these were pure bristle brushes). So, your scepticism is well-placed since there is always somebody trying to imitate us. I understand that that can be known as the finest form of flattery, but not in this case. We spend a great deal of time processing the bristle before it is cut for making into brushes. We cut off the root so your initial test cannot be made. Sometimes a little bit of split bristle can get past the censors, but usually they cut these out in the finishing process. For identification: 1/ the name on the handle should be in goldblocking and sunken into the plastic. 2/ The name on the handle should say: The Mason Pearson London England Nylon & Bristle But it can happen that the wrong label could be on the handle, but unlikely 3/ There should be a hole in the end of the brush only. 4/ There should be ten rows (or five rings) of tufts. 5/ When you squeeze down on the brush you should hear it whistle or wheeze a tiny bit as the air flows out of the cushion and the cushion should bounce back at the same speed. 6/ The only real test is to take out the top of the pad and you will find a stamp on the plastic head inside, but this is not practical for you. 7/ If you have used the brush so you are unable to return it to the shop then a drastic check is to pull out a small piece of the black bristle and set fire to it. The smell of singed hair would be clear or a plastic chemical odour would be the alternative. Again, this may not be practical for you. 8/ Beyond this, you can contact the USA distributor who can find out if the retailer is one of their customers, which they should be if the product is genuine. If they are not one of their customers, then there is no proof as to where the brush was made and by whom. Then we will have to decide on the best course of action. However, I think the various checks you can make should tell you and us most of what needs to be known. Finally, the chances are that a purely nylon brush could create static electricity when in use. Is this the case with yours or maybe you have not used it yet, until we have replied to you first? Our USA importer/distributor is: Harry D. Koenig Inc., 7, Main Street, East Rockaway Long Island, New York 11518 Telephone 516-599-1776, fax 1451 or e-mail Misskingsley1776@aol.com. There is a toll free number # 1-800-645-6503 that is only good outside New York; within the state you have to use 1-516-599-1776. We have copied this reply to Harry D. Koenig so that they are aware of this correspondence. Please let us know what you discover and I hope this resolves your concern.

Ups... I’m thinking about getting one, very excited indeed... but now you bring me back :/ in Europe they are more affordable but still expensive. In all the reviews I saw, no one mentioned that the hair is being pulled off... but idk maybe is just a hype and the brush is not that good. To bad that this is not something you can return. Thanks have a nice day
