Review title is Zero Stars [SEP] If you can tolerate the horrible smell of rubber and you have fine hair, go for it.  My friend gave me this brush when I lost my Mason Pearson (which is the best but quite pricey). I highly recommend the Denman model which is as close to Mason Pearson as you'll find and for a very reasonable price. I love Amazon but this Sonia Kashuk product is a disappointment.
