Looks and cleans great but...
Sleek looking body brush and very easy to rinse the soap off of BUT it doesn't even come close to comparing to a mesh body brush! The mesh lathers up instantly and disperses the soap on your body (and back) so easily. Having said that it's nearly impossible to get all the soap out of mesh with a few rinses. Plus, the mesh drips for at least a 1/2 hr after wringing out. It does, however, do the job so much better.  This spongy brush barely lathers at all and has an strange feel on the body. As soft as the bristles feel to the touch, they do not feel the same on the body.
