are the bristles real stiff or soft?

We thought the bristles were stiff and in fact never softened even after a month of daily use.

Very soft. And this brush is short. I ended up tossing it into the recycling bin after a few weeks.

The bristles are soft, kind of like a brand new toothbrush. But when they scrub on the skin, depending on if you have sensitive skin or not(I do), it may hurt quite a bit when you first start scrubbing, and you'll have to endure the pain until your skin gets used to the pain from the scrubbing. (My skin used to turn red from the scrubbing, but not anymore)

Not stiff, and not overly soft either. I find the brush just fir enough to be useful. I suppose they are like a medium toothbrush.

I found the bristles to stiff for me to use. Works great if you need to remove a layer on skin.

Johnny, they're pretty stiff. For me it was duh...what i mean it is an expoliant brush too. So it opens and cleans your pores. Hope this helps. And it is a bit awkward for me to use in my hands and for a woman i have biggish very steady hands. Kimmie

Yes, it is soft. The brush is designed to be finishing, with use of a comb or styling brush in the other hand.

They are natural boar bristles. The bristles are soft enough for skin but firm enough for effective Skin Brushing.

I have small-to-medium sized woman's hands, and this fits well in my hand. Not sure what "original" bristles are, so I guess I'd have to say soft bristles, but this grooming brush works very well on my kitties and my Labrador and the bristles don't hurt them. Hope this helps!

I would want something a little stiffer for a wooden deck. This brush is still soft enough for auto finishes.

About 1-1/2". I'd say they're pretty stiff at first so start with a gentle touch. Once I got used to them though I enjoy the feel of the brush on my skin. I'm pretty sure my skin has more moisture in it. You know to brush towards the heart, right?

Somewhere between hard and soft, I'd say. Maybe "stiff" would be a good descriptor. Where gaps between teeth are wide, the bristles clear out trapped food without changing in stiffness. But in the tighter spaces the bristles will bend when they are forced.

I measured the bristles. They are about an inch long. They are rather stiff. Go gently the first couple of times using the brush until you get used to it.

The bristles ARE stiffer than most. However, I have used them on my sneakers (including the sides of the sneakers). The key is to not be overly aggressive. Go slow until you are confident it is not going to damage your shoes.

Hi sleeksenior! I find the bristles to be pretty firm, at least for my hair and scalp - and I have a lot of hair!Best,Natalie

They are fairly soft. I think there is a relatively small amount of actual house hair in the broom but it is a fairly soft broom. It won't scratch wood floors.

I would consider them medium. My wife & I both love this toothbrush. I use it more gingerly than she. It would seem the pressure used to actually brush is more of a factor than the soft, medium or hard bristle type, in my humble opinion anyway. There seem to be three different types of bristles on the brush head itself. Hope this helps !

This particular brush has a medium stiffness, and I'm a guy who uses brushes for my hair and beard, and both are Bass Brushes. My wife has one that I bought for her with stiffer bristles, and more dense (her hair is very thick (lots of hair?), so the stiffer brush works great for her.This is by farther the nicest brush I've ever owned. If you want to see a good selection, try Sprouts. They have quite a variety, and some are stiffer than others, so being able to actually touch them makes it easier to choose.

The bristles are soft (my packages say "S-Soft") and they are all the same size

They are stiff, they grip really well, I've used them with dry and wet hair. It doesn't seem damaging. I think you'll be very pleased with them��

From the base of the bristles to the top it is a little short of 1/2 inch. This does not include the plastic part they are embedded in. They are about a medium brush head - not stiff like a hard or soft like sensitives. They can only be used with E series where you screw them onto the base.

The bristles are not really stiff. They flex enough to brush away lint I don't think they can restore the nap
