good work at an incredible price [SEP] i was pleasantly surprised and extremely satisfied with this brush first a note on the pics i took the before pic on the left after hair had been washed dried brushed with a regular brush with no product oil conditioner balm etc put into the beard i then used the brush and took the pic before applying any product to style it for something to straighten your beard quickly on days you do not wash it this was very easy to use it heats up fast about a min and within about minutes i was doneas you will notice my beard is shorter on the sides and even my chin area is not super long i found the shorter bristles on this brush compared to bigger brushes meant for womens hair to work better for my beard also i found it did a great job if you go slowly and comb up from under the chin first then go back and brush it slowly down the other side the extension cord is plenty long the only downside of that is that it can make storage a challenge i do not like wrapping the cord around the brush itself so i had picked up some cheap velcro cord wraps from amazon a few years ago and added one to the cord to make it easier to put awayi bought this to keep at the office but for the price i think i will go back and pick up one more for the house and another to keep in my gym bag i am very happy with it and would recommend it to any guy with a short to medium beard
