There's a lot to love about this brush, but a few cons as well. It's a high quality brush with some very unique design elements, but those design elements will be the reason you either love or hate this brush. Overall, I recommend it if you can work with its design intent, rather than expecting it to be something it's not.
The pistol-grip handle fits the hand very ergonomically for right-handed people. (NOTE: Kent also makes a left-handed version as well, although no one on Amazon seems to sell it.) However, while the handle has been sanded, it's been left as a natural wood grip rather than polished smooth or coated in varnish. This improves grip, but (to me) feels a bit unfinished somehow.
The specially-angled brush head is amazing, as long as you work it it instead of against it. In practice, this means using the right-handed brush only with your right hand, not attempting upward strokes with your neck beard, and mostly focusing on downstrokes rather than left or right sidestrokes on your mustache. Doing anything else requires a very awkward grip on the specially-designed handle, and flipping the brush head in odd ways to ensure strokes start with the short bristles.
The angled head and varied-length tufts ensure even coverage through the beard, including underneath to the skin with the long bristles, and along the tops of the whiskers with the shorter tufts. The white boar bristles are stiff enough for thorough penetration, but soft enough not to irritate sensitive skin (even with a brand new brush) as long as you aren't overly vigorous about it.
Because these brushes are imported from the UK, most sellers on Amazon are charging 50-100% more than the retail cost of the brushes direct from the manufacturer. That makes them pricier than they should be, but still worth the money if the unique aspects of this brush work for your beard type and grooming routine.
Overall, I like this brush as a detangling and smoothing brush despite its various drawbacks. This model won't work for everyone, though. This is especially true is using the right-handed model for lefties, or people with whorls or grains in their beard that don't fit the use case of the brush head design. Your mileage will therefore vary tremendously.

Kent BRD2 New Beard Brush
The Bayside Brush Co.
Finally, a proper brush for the man mane. I've been bearded (full beard) for 15 years (pre trend). In that time I've had countless brushes and combs. None of which were really designed for facial hair. Kent, the masters of brushes from across the pond, have finally capitalized on the beard trend and released this beauty. If you're a true beardsmen, this is the brush you've been looking for.
