Too Soft to be Effective

I bought this item at the same time as the Face Brush by Dermotologia, & they cost about the same. The packaging on the Dermotologia is sturdier, but the brushes themselves are about the same size & weight (very light-weight). Both brushes are far too soft to exfoliate in & of themselves. In other words, if you use a cleansing product on the brush that doesn't have abrasive qualities, these brushes will not provide any degree of abrasion by themselves. If you plan on putting an abrasive exfoliant on them, they will be effective in applying the exfoliant. The Dermotologia brush is made in China (isn't almost everything these days?), but at least Dermotologia advises the consumer of the country of origin. The MenScience brush has no indication of country of origin, either on the brush itself or on its packaging. The MenScience brush indicates that it "combats ingrown hairs." As soft as its bristles are, I don't see how that would be possible. Perhaps "massages ingrown hairs" would be more accurate? The Dermotologia brush has the company's logo on the brush; the MenScience brush has no markings of any sort on the brush, so seems to be of a generic variety (aren't most good companies proud to put their logos on their products?). The MenScience brush has their logo on the case, but if case & brush become separated over time, you'll be hard put to recall what company made this brush that you either like or don't like. For effectiveness as a face brush, they are equal. For packaging & other non-performance areas, the Dermotologia is superior. My recommendation is to buy whichever one you find at a cheaper price, but only if you're looking for a soft, gentle, non-abrasive brush. I will be posting this same review on the webpage for the Dermotologia brush.

This brush works for me. I shave every other day and it allows for a great shave. The double edge blade works smoothly. Good deal!

OMG this is a must need item, I’ve been looking forever for something like this, simple and easy to use! I wanted something to scrub my face clean in the shower and of course clearsonic is electric and I was so afraid of using that in the shower, but THIS is perfect! And I love the handle because it just gets a better rotation and scrub, I’m definetly going to stock up on these, it’s a really great price! Especially for this item, a must need!

I browsed and browsed to find an awesome brush to cleanse my face without being rough and I just wasn't digging the wooden brushes that I kept running into. This brush looks, feels, and cleans greatly and is exactly what I wanted. Considering that this brush is tailored towards men this lady is very pleased with everything from the firm handle to the firm yet oh so preciously soft bristles that lather soooo well!

Buy this brush! The only thing that I would put against it is that the cover doesn't adhere too well (coming off fairly easily) but I personally don't think this is even a fairly significant issue and would say this brush is otherwise flawless sooo BUY THIS BRUSH! Lol :)

Works well

Overall, I'm glad I purchased. I've been using it for 2-3 months and my face does feel cleaner than it did when I would just wash with my hands. It's like using one of those shower scrubbers, it works much better at removing dead skin. It's a little pricey for what is essentially a giant tooth brush. But its the perfect balance between hard and soft bristles, I've seen one that was too soft and I felt like it wasn't doing anything. You probably end up saving money in the long run because I can use a lot less soap now thanks to the lather it works up. You might be able to find cheaper options, but this one seems like it will last for awhile and works very well.

Thought is was crazy, but it works!

I was thinking this was a crazy product to spend so much money on. My wife saw me looking at it and bought it since I wouldn't spend this much money on a big toothbrush! I was wrong. It works really well and helps to prevent ingrown hairs. It just works. You wouldn't brush your teeth with your fingers, why brush your whiskers with them?

Update: I dropped on the shower floor and the handle broke. The plastic needs to be tougher. This is not acceptable for the price. It should be able to handle being dropped on the floor without breaking. Still, it does work.

Update 2: I missed it and bought another.

Works better than you think

I thought it was a little funny buying a brush for my face, but it is surprisingly refreshing. It isn't the most comfortable feeling in the world, but it really feels like you are cleaning deep and getting all the bad stuff off your face. I paired this with the MenScience Microfine Face Scrub (4.4 oz.) and my face looks very refreshed afterwards. I got a few compliments at work after I started using this. A colleague said I look cleaner, smarter, and my acne scars are starting to show less and less. I don't use it every day, but I try to use it once every couple of days. It really does the trick.
