I'm now on my second one of these. I had the first one for so long it was starting to show it's wear and I wanted a fresh new one. Didn't feel the need to look anywhere else. The price can't be beat. One side is stiffer than the other which makes it great as a hair brush on the stiffer side and a beard brush on the softer side. Might feel a little too stiff at first, but it breaks in quickly. It can be easy to get stuck in a loop on Amazon looking at the endless amount of choices. If you need a brush for your hair and beard, no need to look further, just buy this one and move on to more important decisions.
