Review title is Short lifespan [SEP] I originally gave this 5 stars, because it used to be wonderful.<br /><br />Unfortunately, within 6 months, the bristles started to soften, and within 10 months of my hanging it between uses, the wood at the head of the brush had darkened and split. I hate to say this, but maybe I'd have been better off with a crummy plastic shower brush, because at l wouldn't have paid so much.
