Review (4/5): smells
I like this brush. It is very stiff, but massages your scalp while brushing. I really feel the nylon bristles more than the boar bristles. Truthfully, I can't say there are any boar bristles. But is has nice cushioning and is a typical paddle style brush and seems well made.
The rubber base the the brush does have the rubber odor that will hopefully go away soon.
