beautiful brush but it stinks like rubber tires yuck price is insane [SEP] at the current price of this is insanely expensive yes the brush is a beautiful blue with a fantastic gloss and looks great feels nice in my hands and brushes my fine short to medium curly hair well however the brush stinks to high heaven and reminds me of the smell of burning rubber tires unfortunately i cannot use this in this condition because i am extremely sensitive to offensive odors
