COUNTERFEIT ITEM!!!  BEWARE!!! [SEP] If I could give zero stars I would.  This is 100% plastic.  The bristles are so hard they scratched my scalp.  I'm pretty sure even the handle is plastic, not wood, but didn't want to damage it to  make sure.  It weighs maybe 2 oz.  It came in a plain plastic bag with a sticker that says Made in Germany.  No markings on the brush anywhere.  I'm not going to pay almost 20 dollars for something I could buy at the dollar store.
