so far so good i like it [SEP] i have been trying to replace a conair brush that looks very similar to this for years the conair one i have has been cracked and it is starting to come apart it is my favorite brush i absolutely love it this is very close the handle is slightly bigger and not as comfortable to hold the bristle seem about the same it does come with a small scraper tool which is handy you can get the lint out of it that was an issue with my old one i really love boar bristle brushes that have plastic bristles as well i have very very very thick yet fine strand hair that breaks and this just makes it look so nice ao far so good i have had it for about a month and it seems to be a high quality decent brush it is made in china but very similar to the one i bought here years ago
