This review is for the: Redecker Bath Brush with Removable Untreated Beechwood Handle with Tampico bristles.<br /><br />Cons:<br /><br />Let me count the ways I dislike this brush:<br /><br />1) The head is so big that you can’t brush your back with any pressure (physics below for us nerds).<br />  (I modified the head to make it smaller because of this problem- see pic)<br />2) The wood is completely unfinished and will begin the slow unpleasant task of rotting the first time you use it.<br />3) The head will fall off the handle the first time you use it and the only way to keep it on is to glue it on.  So<br />  the idea of using it as a back brush AND a hand brush is ridiculous.<br />4) Another ridiculous idea: the natural bristles.  Again, the rotting starts with your first shower.  Do you really<br />  want to soak this in bleach weekly?<br />5) I have $12 back brushes bought in Walgreens or CVS that outperform this brush in every way.  See the<br />  picture.  (Unfortunately, I have not been able to find a decent brush on Amazon that isn’t too short).<br /><br />Pros:<br />If you want a really elegant brush to hang on your wall, one that reflects the best brush-making traditions of 1900, and is made in Germany no less, this IS the brush for you!  Enjoy!<br /><br />Physics for the nerds: Let’s say, in the awkward position of scrubbing your back, you can press the brush against the back with 3 pounds of force.  If you are using a 2” diameter round drugstore brush head, that’s about 3 square inches of brush (pi r squared).  So you can apply a pressure of 3/3 or 1 psi of pressure to your back with the brush. Now take this monster.  Let’s say it has an area of about 7 square inches.  Now you can only apply a pressure of 3/7 psi to your back.  Now if you’re buying this stiff brush, you want a good scrub, right?  NOT with this brush.
