I've heard about that brush, which surely seems a bargain at $3 for 8 cm
(which my Ikea 2-way tape measure says is 3-1/4 inches). Even a more
expensive brush that doesn't lose hair would be extremely desirable. As
far as I know, however, it's not sold in the US... or I wasn't able to
find it.
Has anyone else?
