I bought this to be a gift and ended up keeping it because it was not that nice. It was already ugly and a little rusted when i got it. It worked okay but the sponge tore apart within the first couple of weeks of light use. I probably wouldnt buy something like this again. The replacement sponges are expensive for being so worthless. The sponges probably dont last long because you have to repeatedly crush them to get the soap out.
