Fabulous body brush for dry-brushing, 30 Mar. 2015

I have toyed with dry brushing for a while but never committed to it because, as it turns out, I never found the right brush. Some were too stiff and scratched my skin, others too soft, which made them ineffectual. When I was offered this beautiful body brush, I decided to try once more. I agreed to provide an honest review, and I'm delighted to say that I find this brush just about perfect.

The look is high-end spa with lovely detailing: the body and handle are made of beechwood, finished with a low-sheen varnish, and beautifully contoured. The bristles are natural boar, not excessively long, and firmly attached through a plastic shield (a feature I have not seen before), designed to protect the wood from water. The brush head has a natural-fibre woven strap to provide a secure grip when used by itself. The handle is easily removable, long enough to reach half way down my back, and solid without being too heavy. A cotton cord loop allows hanging. A super-soft terry cloth...

Highly Recommended, 29 Oct. 2014

This product was sent to me by the manufacturer to test, review and keep in exchange for an honest review.This brush states its a "Premier" brush and to be honest it is fantastic quality. The brush is made from beech, with a detachable head and comes with a travel bag for the end piece of the brush. The head also has a strap on it so it can be used without the handle. The head itself appears to be very well made and is quite stiff. I cannot think of a single negative for this great product, therefore I am happy to Highly Recommend it to anyone who wants a stiff body brush.Highly Recommended.

Top to toe scrub, 1 Oct. 2014

I received one of these direct from the company to try out. They have not asked for or suggested that I write a favourable review, they have only requested that I leave an honest review. As far as I am aware this item is identical to the retail product.

The package consists of a body brush, detachable handle and a wash mitt / travel bag.

The brush is made from a polished / varnished wood that does a good job of keeping water out of the grain. It has a material handle that you slip your hand under and this prevents repeated dropping as is apt to happen when your hands are wet and soapy. The bristles are natural, though I don't know what material they are. The bristles are fed through a plastic plate which is strongly bonded onto the wooden handle. I have given the clumps of bristles a tug and they have remained in place, so this isn't going to be shedding bristles over you.

Carved into the wooden handle is a slot and you can feed the long handle into...
