Review on 🛀 Oak Bath Brush with Horsehair Bristles by Stephanie Jonsson

After 30 years of daily use I finally had to replace it. I tried a few others before finding the original one, so I can honestly say it's the best. The wiring approach means no glue is used. so it doesn't fall apart in hot water. The lack of a plastic plate to hold the hair means the pieces won't break or fall out over time. will not rust over fabric. The non-detachable head ensures that it does not constantly slip off. A fairly long handle means you can reach between your shoulder blades. Horsehair (as opposed to nylon, boar, or grass) means you absorb water to create foam. For reference, nylon doesn't absorb water, and unless its stiffness is just right for you, it's never going to change. Also, nylon will wrinkle after exposure to hot water for a while. And the ends of the nylon brush are square cut and sharp - they cause micro damage to your skin (compared to the naturally rounded/soft ends of horsehair) and cause acne but don't improve it. Incidentally, the same applies to the brushes from Lufa. Boar is good too, but too harsh for me (I think it's better for wiping unless you want to exfoliate a top layer or two of skin every morning). So this brush is really good. perfect and will last for the next 30 years. If you want Scandinavian clean leather, skip the bamboo handle/nylon/grass bristle brushes that won't help you and go for the best. This.
