I suspect most men use a comb or brush stolen from their wife/girlfriend or grab one at the corner drugstore with little thought to it's full potential utility. This brush is a grooming tool and affordable luxury that every man should own (unless you have hair like Fabio in which case you would chose a different model). To run this brush over my hair and scalp at the end of the day has an incredibly stress-reducing effect second only to the highball which inevitably soon follows. I can only hope it's having the purported circulation benefits and possibly stalling further decline in those worrisome thinning spots...
