boar bristles
Swine coat fibers
Boar bristles are the stiff, coarse hairs from wild or domestic pigs, prized for brushmaking.
They appear most often in hairbrushes, where their texture distributes natural oils and reduces static: a boar bristle brush.
Shaving brushes and paint brushes also use them.
The bristles are valued for durability and their ability to hold product without becoming too soft.
