Not perfect
Prior to this purchase, I've been using a soft-bristle Colgate brush - which has stayed in good shape for so long that at this point I feel like it might be eternal and I just need to switch already. I figured that switching to something more environmentally-friendly is a good idea, and this was my first pick because the handle seems more comfortable than some other wooden brushes (it's more rounded on the sides). However, since I'm switching to this from a toothbrush that I thought was amazing in every way besides it being made from plastic, my toothbrush expectations are pretty high now. I've read some comments that said it takes some time to get used to a wooden brush and I think it's because wooden brushes are shaped slightly differently (more flat, more rectangular). It might be a bit weird for some people, but also not that big of a deal. However, the wooden part could've been better in this version if it was smoothed out just a tiny bit more. I mean, I don't think I'd get a splinter from using this brush, but there is quite a bit of room for improvement in this regard. The more important aspect are the actual bristles. They're just not as soft as the ones on my old brush. And when you look at them you can see that some weren't even cut like they were supposed to in order to get that soft effect. The bristles themselves might also be a bit thicker. So overall, the brush works, and this pack has a whole 10 of them so it will last me a while, but I hope to find something better next time I'm purchasing brushes.
