    Default Need ideas to replace the perfect back brush

    Hello,
    Several years ago, we tripped across the perfect back brush at our local grocery store. Now we need another and they are nowhere to be found. It was the "Suburbanite" brand and was made in Italy [and also quite inexpensive]. It had just the perfect level of aggressiveness to invigorate the back and exfoliate at the same time. It just plain felt good! Butler Products/Proctor & Gamble has purchased this company and, of course, no longer offer this brush.
    All the other brushes we've tried have weak, soft and useless bristles that just fold over and do little or no good.
    Does anyone have any experience or knowledge on finding a relacement for this, our old friend?

    Many thanks,
    Linda & Mike

    I have and like this one from The Body Shop. It's good if you like very stiff bristles.

    Thanks to you both. It's ordered and on it's way. The Body Works doesn't take PayPal so I got it coming from Amazon [same price]. I have a QUITE active account there [:--(
    T'care,

    I am glad to have found this post. I need a back brush due to acne still at 34y/o. I have been looking for a brush for years and have not pulled the trigger.
