One side is effective, being a good quality shower brush. Other side is a fail.
The soft bristle brush on this shower brush is very effective, and works as expected. The wooden handle is crafted nicely, with no sharp edges or 'thorns' (small splintery aspects). In general, with manufactured well with no unexpected surprises.<br />The surprise comes from the other brush side.  From the product details: "One side is very soft and holds soap well, and the other side of the natural bristles is perfect for a deep scrub,especially in the exfoliation." Well, the natural bristles are somewhat stiff, but actually work well with scrubbing the back. Especially compared to the reverse side. This is supposed to be the softer bristle side. Instead of bristles, there's a widely spaced pattern of nubs (plastic, nylon, silicone?) that are not natural bristles. These nubs are attached to a flexible base, so they bend with contact and pressure. The nubs are not soft, by any definition. As mentioned, the base is flexible, and allows these nubs to rub along the skin.<br />I found this shower brush to be incongruent with the product details description.<br />If the hard nub side was not on a flexible base, it could serve as a decent back scratcher. As is, i feel it's ineffective and a design fail.<br />Another issue: the pictures show an exaggerated view of the size of the brush.<br />So, one side, with natural bristles, is an effective, functional shower brush. The other side is a fail. Based on these impressions and consideration, this shower brush earns a 3.25 star rating, and a cautious recommendation.
