Not a great buying experience, and not a great brush [SEP] The brush itself is okay. The bristles are a little softer than expected, but I've been using a boar bristle hairbrush for years. I expected something more like that. And I expect that after using it a while, I'll be looking for something with a little more bite. Anyone that uses a actual loofah pad will find this much tamer. It also shed a whole lot of bristles the first few times I used it.<br />And now for the down side. This product was listed as prime eligible. I ordered this along with a few other things and this item was singled out for slow shipment. Which then got misplaced somewhere in the Midwest. After waiting something like ten days, I notified Amazon and the nice rep did his best to fix things. The brush finally arrived about a week after the replacement did (another brand. I didn't want to take another chance on this vendor).<br />This is the first time this has happened in all the time I've been a prime member without my permission.<br />I really hope no one else has this experience.
