That's actually my old hairbrush. I just pressure washed it, so it's totally clean. The faded ends of the bristles are because the brush itself is over 25 years old.
Indeed, this really is my old hairbrush. Initially I never would have expected the bristles to fade like that, but it still works just fine, minus a few missing bristles.
But it looks like a gray haired old man now...
It's almost a buyitforlife sorta post, but it's showing it's age, just like me.
