Quintus MMXV

Quintus MMXV is a men's grooming label specialising in beard brushes made from natural woods and a range of bristle types. It is distributed exclusively through the Swedish retailer SLIQHAQ, with resale through the Nordic beauty retailer Lyko and the Swedish price-comparison aggregator Carrello [1][7][9]. The brand has no independent website, social media presence or published founding record; the available information comes entirely from Sliqhaq and the retailers that carry its products [4].

The name pairs the Latin "Quintus" with "MMXV", the Roman numeral for 2015 [3]. No source states a founding year explicitly, and the brand's country of origin is likewise unconfirmed, though Sliqhaq — its apparent sole distributor — is based in Umeå, Sweden.

⚑ Thinner sourcing. The article relies largely on the brand's own statements (T2–T3). Glowpedia is seeking independent sources.

The range is narrow and consistent: beard brushes, offered with and without handles and in several sizes. Two woods recur across the line. According to the company, pear wood has a reddish-brown tone with visible growth rings and is heavy, hard and dimensionally stable, while walnut shows light and dark variations and is described as durable and "exclusive and powerful".

Brush heads are built from different fibres chosen for stiffness and feel. These include wild boar bristles in standard and softer grades, blends of nylon and horse hair, and Tampico fibre, a plant-based bristle the company identifies as a natural material from the agave or yucca plant and describes as "completely plant-based and vegan" [3]. Sliqhaq's listings note that combining fibres — for example nylon's stiffness with the softer character of horse hair — gives each brush a distinct character.

One point of disagreement appears across the sources. Sliqhaq's own listings, in both Swedish and English, describe the woods as pear wood and walnut, and Lyko's English page agrees [1][3][7]. Lyko's Finnish page instead mentions "German beechwood" alongside pear wood [8]; the packet treats this as a likely translation artefact or a detail specific to one product, since every other source is consistent on pear wood and walnut.

Across Sliqhaq, Lyko and Carrello the brushes sit in an accessible, independent price tier rather than a premium one.

Sliqhaq's brand copy frames Quintus MMXV around material and integrity rather than performance claims. The description states that the brand is "built on high moral and strong ideals" and offers "reliable products in beautiful material choices" [3]. Lyko repeats the same framing, emphasising careful selection of materials and the view that construction and material choice shape how a brush performs and feels in use. The positioning is specialised: rather than a full grooming range, the label concentrates entirely on the beard brush as an object, distinguishing its products chiefly by wood and bristle combination.

Quintus MMXV is active. Its products were listed with current pricing on Sliqhaq's Swedish and English sites and on Lyko in Sweden and Finland as of mid-2026 [3]. The catalogue is small — around eight distinct beard-brush variants — and on the Carrello aggregator most listings appeared out of stock, with only one item available, which suggests a low-volume operation [9].

The brand's relationship to Sliqhaq is not fully documented. Sliqhaq, founded in late 2013 by Gustav Burman and based in Umeå, is a men's grooming retailer carrying thousands of articles, and Quintus MMXV appears within its general brand directory rather than under "SLIQHAQ Selected", the retailer's explicitly designated house-brand range [2][4]. The complete absence of any independent presence for Quintus MMXV outside Sliqhaq is nonetheless consistent with a private label, and the packet flags this as unresolved.
