Day 2 of the break-in on this brush. There was much less wet dog smell this morning.
I have noticed that this is my only brush that has a weighted handle. All of my other brushes float by the handle when they are soaking in my sink. This one doesn't float. The handle also has a good balanced feel to it.
I am glad that I got this brush as part of an Ocean Kelp kit, and that I used a coupon. I am not sure it is worth the $60 normal price tag, but getting it for basically $30 as part of a kit is not too bad. I think it is a decent $30 brush.
