The quality has significantly decreased. Bristles are WAY too fragile.
I have used this brush for several years. I bought the most recent one in January of 2015 and at least half of the bristles are already missing. Really bad quality. I like the 1 1/2&#34; barrel and prefer the ones that don't blow air, but I can't afford to buy 3 or 4 of them each year. Will have to change companies.
