YES.
Just bought to replace my previous round brush (of the brand that sounds like a mall-chain Italian restaurant) whose rubber handle started splitting and breaking down and turning into sticky gack, and which I only really used for curling/finishing my longish bangs. This is SO much better -- the bristles get into my hair really easily but also grip suuuuper well, for a good subtle curl-under and a fast finish. It's also unexpectedly lightweight, and very comfy to use. Expensive? Omg yes, dang. But I probably spent $40 on three *other* round brushes that were spectacular failures for my purposes, so this is absolutely the one I should've bought from the get-go.
