Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

After reading the reviews I was a little hesitant about buying this, but I went ahead and did it anyway. I am glad I did. I suspect the manufacturer took note of the feedback and significantly improved their product. It works exactly as it should, and the construction appears very solid -- I examined it thoroughly. I've been using it a while (I'm on my second large bar of soap) and it seems to be holding up just fine. I am still on my first one and I've have no problems at all. As I have three more, I suspect I am good with this for at least a year if not longer. In addition, the scrubby works great -- it's scrubby and works as an exfoliant, but it is not too rough at all. I use it on my face as well as my body and it leaves my skin smooth and feeling great. Well worth the money and I recommend this product highly. ***** 8/29/14 UPDATE ***** I originally ordered this product on April 8, 2014 and have been using the first one every day since I received it two days later. I have to say this product has already given me my money's worth and more. The quality issues written about in early reviews have clearly been addressed and my scrubby is holding up like new for the past four months. Even with large bars of artisan soap it really works well. Even when the soap gets soft, it keeps it inside and you just get a nice lather. It's not often that I update my reviews, but this product has really impressed me. If you're thinking of buying this stop hesitating -- this product doesn't just work well, it does an excellent job. Lest you think me a shill for this product please have a look at all my reviews -- you'll see I am not.
