can you touch the bristles without getting burned?

the bristles are not hot, the metal strips between the bristles is what gets hot. you can wrap your hand around the bristles and not get burned, but be careful not to push your finger tips through the bristles and touch the metal strip, it will burn.

Yes, they are thick, flexible plastic and as long as you don't touch the barrel the bristles aren't hot.

They are not bristles. they are more like rubber combs. I have curly hair that gets wild. This iron relaxes the hair and leaves a smooth calm curl. It is just what I needed.

You should be fine, just remember to use the brush as your rinsing soap off. It hurts a bit if you start scrubbing away without running water on your scalp.

No, but it gets hot. My 2 year old touches it while on a pulls away with no burns.

i would not! the bristles are very coarse, they would tear the delicate facial skin. this is designed for the body only!!! brush your limbs towards the heart, in long, sweeping motions.

I have purchased on of these brushes and it works great for cleaning up the grill plates without scratching the non-stick surface. My answer to your question is yes.

I would not describe the bristles as soft. They will yield to pressure if pressed down with a thumb, but are fairly firm. You could control the amount of pressure applied for a more delicate surface.

I don't think you can. The bristles are all together in a solid row and when the blue tip gets loose, the whole row of bristles can go flying off of the curling brush. I have to super glue the blue tip back on time after time and then the row of bristles can't come off.

I do not keep anything that might melt on top of it. It does get quit warm to the touch but not so hot that it could possibly causes your skin to burn.

You can but you still need to be careful and take your time around sensitive areas. I would recommend doing those areas first while the clippers are still cool to touch, once they get hot and you use them without a guard they will cause skin irritations.

I too have no trouble just cleaning the bristles by hand. The bristles are so short it really shouldn't be a problem, then wash after.

I tap it against a firm surface and use a soft-bristle brush. I'm hesitant to use water.

Not really - it moves back and forth a tiny bit, but it's more or less stationary. It's a lot like a curling iron b/c there's metal between the bristles. But the bristles keep you from burning your fingers. I'm on my 3rd one in probably 20 years...

No. It is just for the brush. You didn't ask, but definitely get the silver tip bristles which make a huge difference in comfort.

I haven't tried that. Imagine if you are very careful and use a light touch, it should be fine.

I have not, but I wouldn't hesitate to try. Just be careful because the handle likely will be extremely hot and could cause a serious burn.

I dont see why not. Mine is getting worn in a couple of spots and I havent had a problem with it burning.

After continued use the bristles on this brush will either spread out or compress. Ii agree that you should be waiting for your pans to cool first, but this brush has never let me down. However, the bristles and the brush are made of nylon (or some sort of plastic), not silicon, so theoretically they will melt at high temperatures
