They've not only changed the handle( to use less material) which is not my biggest problem, but problem is that they've changed the tip of it from cloth/cotton into some sort of plasic fiber stuff that gets all over on my guitar and hands, possibly emmitting lots of microplatics in the process. I hate it it's digusting that they've changed this almost perfect product , almost practically overnight into a disgusting mess. I hope their profit's will surely skyrocket soon!- but I will never ever buy this product again,unless they change it back. I will try to find a new alternative instead. Also ghs thinks I'm an idiot,their customer service is terrible, since I contacted them on this issue, and they've immediatley thought that the handle was the problem, and their first attempt at reassuring me as a customer was telling me,that the handle has no microplastics. They thought I was such an idiot that I would complain about the handle as the microplastic polluter, while in fact I was talking about the tip of it, which is obvious when you try the product and see it for yourself! I am very disappointed in ghs and especially what has become of this product- I guess because of "business" reasons... So,yeah, if you've loved this product,from now on I would recommend buying something better from the competing products(and brands) on the market. otherwise the oil in it is the same, but the rest of it is complete garbage. This has nothing against Thomann, I am disappointed in GHS only!
Update: the fiber of the tip is ABS plastic. Frickin' Lego material! Hope you like it,yum yum....
