Great brush for showering!
UPDATE: After only a few weeks of using this, the plastic piece that holds the bristles started to crack (I did not drop or damage it in any way). Soon, those bristles began falling out at an alarming rate because the some of the plastic actually began to break off. Then, the cracking moved further down and more bristles fell out. Currently, about 1/4-1/3 of my bristles are gone and the cracking has widened the plastic base enough that it's now overhanging the edge of the brush and it's a bit painful when it slides against you skin as it's almost sharp. Otherwise, for now, it still functions but it's going in the trash once it gets beyond the point of using. I don't recommend this product.<br /><br />I currently have a long handled brush that I'm looking to replace as it's a bit awkward in my standard size tub shower and the wood is splitting down the middle and the bristles are falling out. That said, I had some reservations about getting this wooden product. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the handle on this brush seems to have a coating on it to make it more water-resistant than the brush I currently have. Like other reviewers mentioned, the bristles are a bit stiff at first but it was easy to solve by using less pressure; otherwise, I love the exfoliation, it's much better than a loofah or washcloth. This brush also works well with both bar soap and body wash. Overall, I'm very pleased with this purchase and I'll use it until it too needs replaced.<br /><br />I received this product at a discount in exchange for my honest opinion.
