Even more clueless than you
I am going to use a boar in my rotation after decades of using only mainly badger and some synthetic which I have recently purchased. The advice I had a long time ago was just to use a boar brush as you would any other type of brush. I will break it in for a week before using the brush for a shave. I will use soap and hair conditioner and leave it lathered for 12 hours, clean it out the repeat this process every day. After seven days leave it to totally dry out for two days then using in my regular rotation.
i have read other way including leaving a boar brush in the fridge. I haven’t tried any of the other options. My recollection is boar can smell a bit funky at first so maybe using hair conditioner is a way of getting rid of the smell.
