Mason Pearson
My cousin once joked that Mason Pearson hairbrushes are so ubiquitous for the women in my family that they come with our birth certificates. Wonderful and lasting - I've had one at least 20 years, and the company will re-bristle them if you can manage to wear them out. Their combs are great too; I keep them in our guest bathrooms. The London shop doesn't ship to the US, so I order from the Mason Pearson shop at Nordstrom's.
