It is a nice brush, but it is way overpriced. I have many brushes, and none of them are anywhere near the price of this brush. Also I find the material used to make the brush to be rather cheap feeling and looking, nothing like I expected when I paid $100 for a brush. The handle does not fit comfortably into my hand either. I had been told it would do miracles for my show dogs'coats. It doesn't. Others had told me it is just a brush like all the others. They were right, and I wasted a lot of money to find that out.
