I've just started using boar brushes and I've been reading a lot of threads about them. I've noticed a few posts saying you can get a closer shave with a boar brush because it lifts the hair more, or conditions the hair+skin better. Not sure exactly what, and this may be just anecdotal. For my part, I'm getting very close shaves with my boar brushes, but I'm not jumping to conclusions.
Can anyone shed any light on this idea?
