The Parable of Wise and Foolish Builders

When I received this product, I couldn't help but think of The Parable of the Wise and the Foolish Builders, also known as The House Built on the Rock. For those who don't remember this parable, it is this: Therefore, I will compare everyone who hears these words of mine and does them to a wise man who built his house on a rock. And the rain fell, and the rivers overflowed, and the winds blew and fell on that house; and did not fall because it was founded on stone. Anyone who hears these words of mine and does not fulfill them will be like a foolish man who built his house on sand. Stubble. The problem is that for the environment it lands in, shower or bath, most likely the base (wooden handle) hasn't been properly treated to resist the flow of water. I've seen other reviews where a buyer complains about this and I'll add a few things to that. First, if you are purchasing this product, also plan on purchasing 100% pure tung oil, some sandpaper, and some turpentine or mineral. Perfume, since you must prepare the base (wooden handle) for it to live in this environment. I'm a bit at a loss as to why the wood wasn't properly prepared from the start which is why I gave this product 1 star. See if I need to fix a design flaw, redesign something, or work on making it the premium product it was meant to be. I ended up sanding down the wooden handle which was almost like the raw wood I had to add and applied 3 coats of tung oil to the finish and let it dry for 1 month before putting it in my shower. Sounds funny? If he buys it!

Pros
  • Handcrafted in Sweden from oiled oak and horsehair, Iris Hantverk's bath brush has a comfortable handle; Soft and flexible but very strong horsehair bristles are ideal for bath brushes
Cons
  • Other interesting options are available.
