What did I expect for $10? Well I was expecting the bristles to be very soft and squishy straight away. Not this case. The brush is actually pretty good. This handle, especially the wrist between the handle and the head, is so thin, so flimsy, and so fragile that every brush in this 15-pack broke the moment I used it. Since the bristles are acceptable I started pinching the broken heads with pliers and they clean perfectly. But if I had known the handles are the thinnest material ever made I would have ordered something else. Potential buyers. you have been warned
