Hydrea London Dry Body Brush –Short Handle Premium Exfoliating Dry Skin Brush with Natural Bristle, FSC® Certified Beechwood.

No complaints

I go to the health club every day and carry my shower supplies back and forth between the club and home. I did a lot of searching for a bath brush with a handle just long enough to reach the hard-to-reach places on my back that would fit comfortably in my gym bag. This brush handle is the perfect length for me. I use it on my arms, legs, feet and back. The bristles are stiff so I don't use it on my face. I'd say the bristles are about half way between soft and stiff. I'm quite comfortable using it on my arms and legs however some people may find it to be too stiff. It's fantastic for feet. My feet have never been so well scrubbed. My one complaint is that about 2 weeks after I purchased it and began using it every day, some of the finish on the wood began to flake off. For that reason, I almost gave the brush 4 instead of 5 stars. However, I love this brush so much I really don't care that much about the finish starting to flake a little. In about 5 weeks of using this brush every day, the bristles seem as good as new. I just rinse the brush thoroughly, rigorously shake off the excess water, dry the bristles a little with a towel and let it air dry until I need it again the next day. Today is 11/20/16. In a few months, if there are signs of any problems, I'll update my review. I haven't received any free products or discounts so I've said exactly what I think of this product.

FSC 100%!The wood seems to be treated well, polished and smooth, resistant to water. As a person without range of motion issues, it's the right length for me to reach anywhere. The bristles are a good stiffness, sometimes I wish they were slightly less pokey because if I press a little hard they feel slightly... almost sharp... But I guess that's what you get if you want an exfoliating brush!

Few weeks old and the handle is already cracking in multiple places.

I bought this brush because of the shorter handle and it works great. I am able to do my back and my legs and feet. Definitely worth the price.

Good dry brush. It was delivered last night and I took it for a spin this morning. I can easily get my whole back with this brush with good control. It's nice to only need one dry brush for my whole body. It was good on sensitive areas (neck, belly, etc) so it isn't too rough. I was going to try it on my face because my new face brush hasn't arrived yet, but decided it was probably too rough for my face. It's well made as well.

We have had several Hydrea products in the past and all of them were wonderful! My husband really enjoyed his Hydrea bath brush and as his was aging we decided to purchase a new one. We purchased the new brush, and even though it took several weeks to receive the product, as it was transported from England, we understood the time constraints. However, what we did not understand and we will not deal with is a product that is defective in the way this brush was. Upon receiving the product and getting the brush wet, there was the most awful smell that cannot even be described. The company that sent this to us surely should have known that it was defective with such a foul odor. We were going to return this product, however, it was too damaged to return. When you placed the brush in an area, while waiting to be shipped back to the seller, it made the entire area smell horrible!

So many products out there mention cactus bristles but they all seem to have a blend of nylon or some other synthetic. I love the long handle & the firm but not abrasive bristles. I have bought many dry brushes, searching for the right one. Look no further this is it.
