if you are looking for a starter kit [SEP] this is probably a great starter kit for someone new to dry brushing it is a really beautiful set and i especially like the back brush but i have to admit that i am happier with the little oil sample that came with it than i am with the brushthe main dissatisfaction i have is that the bristles are very soft very one has to work a very long time to get that pink tint that lets you know that it is working and it sheds for someone who likes a gentle brush this may be perfect or for a beginner just not for meshipment was prompt and fast update i misstated the shedding of this brush the first time around i ordered two at the same time this one shed a lot the first couple of times i used it it shed when i opened the bag right up until i realised that it just was not for me i am sure it is a temporary problem since so many people like it just be prepared in case it happens to you
