Review (5/5): This is the Prince...
I've had this brush for a year now. Once I discarded the pointless blue plastic thing and removed the useless brush head strap I had a great shower brush. The twine wrapped handle....don't think of it as decorative...when you're in the throws of body wash battle...sudsy hands need that twine for grip. I thought it was just a "pretty" but it's a "function". The horse mane bristles are the perfect "scrub" factor. I lost maybe 4 bristles when I first used it but none...zero lost since. I have to have a shower scrub assist because of shoulder replacement and knee injuries and as such I've had the occasion to kiss alot of frogs looking for a shower brush. Hard bristles, soft bristles, bristles falling out, straight handle, too short of a handle, self destructing,...like I said, I need a shower brush assist so it's important to me. This brush is the Prince I've kissed so many frogs to find...so to speak...
Update: another year or use...still going strong. I'm updating because I'm buying another one...this one is for my son who is having some issues with the skin on his back...I am floored at those that say "soft brush"...the horse mane bristles are the perfect "baby bear soup" of scrubbing...not too hard and not too soft...just right...buy this brush you'll love it.
