brush has homemade look and quality [SEP] i was attracted to this beard brush because of its size and shape i have a relatively short beard and needed something small the brush is palm sized and the bristles are medium shortas other reviewers have stated though the wood is curiously out of round which gives the brush a homemade look it could indeed be the product of a cottage industry business in china where the wood blanks are cut by hand i don t know another thing that was odd was that an inventory sticker was placed over the logo of the brush and leaves a sticky residue when it s removed and finally this brush still drops bristles in the sink when i use itsolid stars only recommended if you can live with the above idiosyncrasies
