Review title is smells [SEP] I like this brush.  It is very stiff, but massages your scalp while brushing.  I really feel the nylon bristles more than the boar bristles.  Truthfully, I can't say there are any boar bristles.  But is has nice cushioning and is a typical paddle style brush and seems well made.<br /><br />The rubber base the the brush does have the rubber odor that will hopefully go away soon.
