Not worth it, only the wood is good
I got this brush because I got tired of having to buy a new redecker back brush every year when they started to get black moldy and nasty... I've owned mine for about 7 months now, and the WOOD had held up fantastically... the bristles however leave MUCH to be desired.<br /><br />For one the bristles on this one are abnormally coarse, practically feeling like they're going to rip my skin off, despite being used daily for over 6 months now, and despite supposedly being the same type of bristles that the other brush I normally got from them had.<br /><br />NOT unlike a more traditional brush though, sure enough the bristles on my brush are already turning black as tar, and I haven't even had this brush for a year yet!<br /><br />Having paid roughly TRIPLE the price of a standard brush, which likely would have had softer bristles, and which might have moldier wood but identical bristle cleanliness, really does not feel worth it to me... if they could figure a way to make the bristles themselves unable to mold, and also get them softer, then I'd be sold, but as is this makes as much sense as a nuclear bomb proof vest ... sure the vest will survive but what about the wearer? Having wood that can't mold, but overly stuff bristles that absolutely can, is totally pointless!
