bristles starting to come out at an accelerated rate at the year mark [SEP] the brush arrived on time an looks goodhave been using it daily for almost the last yearhave begun to notice the bristles have been coming out at an accelerated rate over the last couple of months i expect to see some bristles work their way out as time goes on the last couple of months there have been a lot of bristles left behind in the shaving soap mug every day i would guess day at this rate i am expecting i will need a new brush relatively soon disappointing since i paid almost a hundred for this brush the most i have ever paid my last brush before this one lasted over years of daily use and this one was a cheapie i had picked up in a local drug store on a whim i do not see this one lasting that long
