are tehy worth the money? I'v ehad my body brush for about 4 years and fell I deserve a new one. been looking at the Oster brushes to get my girl for her xmas present!
 
I only have the big tail brush but that is brilliant. My mare has a huge tail and the brush has stood up to it very well.
 
I'm going to be devils advocate, I got myself a set, but I don't like them that much!! I don't like the way you hold them and prefer a strap instead.

Agreed the tail brush is fab and much stronger than human paddle brushes I normally use!

However other brands which are similar would do just as well, so if I had to pay retail price, I would not cough out the extra for Oyster. Then again I am a tight ar*e

Also in my set there is no proper curry comb, which is a mystery on what they think you should use to clean the brushes with... unless I am being stupid?
 
Actually I use my tail brush to clean my other (non-Oster) brushes as I can never find my curry comb

I have a stiff brush which I find a bit awkward but the soft finishing brush is fab on summer coats, makes them really shiney. As for tail brushes I use an Avon paddle brush, quarter the price (ebay) and does exactly the same. Just glides through thick tails
 
I have a set and wouldn't buy another set, they are okay but not worth the money. The only bit I really like is the tail brush and would buy that separately.
 
I was looking at the tail brush at my local tack shop but noticed that Roma did exactly the same brush, just in a nattier colour

. I couldn't see any difference at all between them other than the colour and the price, which was half that of the Oster brush. Seems to work just the same aswell!
 
Hubby bought me a set when they first came out. They are ok. I wouldn't bother replacing with the same though.

I think the tail brush is the best one, and there is a nice soft face finishing brush which Star likes.
