And those will absolutely mar paint if used dry; under 15X it's a real horror-show. My oldest one is so soft it's hard to believe it'll do that kind of damage, but it does..
OK, the toothbrush theory just went south! Thanks for the warning. I am back to buying a new BHB. Legacy99 suggested the Swissvax BHB. I cant seem to locate one.
