Popular gift with nautical types - the brush can be used as a clothes brush or traditional military style hairbrush.
The classic military style hairbrush design dates from the 1700's. Based on a horse's currycomb this handle-less hairbrush was perfect for life on the move / on military campaign and is still effective for speedy grooming. Traditionally used as a pair (one in each hand) the hairbrush is perfect for short hairstyles and the dense pliable bristles won't leave comb marks.
