Well, I finally got the toothbrush (soft)...and I am amazed with the results.  I have used it for two days and my teeth actually feel like they were professionally cleaned!!  I usually only get this feeling from the dentist or when I use the electric toothbrush.  I am getting one for my husband to try, and I will report what he has to say about...  I am definetly impressed with how it works thus far!
