I would strongly recommend you track down the top end one they do if you like the cheaper one. Like I said, I had the £9 effort and it didn't last long, about three months, and it was perfectly fine for ages.

The top end one they do, the barberie one or what ever they call it, has not shed a single hair yet, 4 months in. Absolutely love it and I would replace it with another every day of the week and twice on sunday. I throughly recommend it.

I got both mine in black as well.
