By Material
Silicone, TPE and hybrid compared on the axes that matter after purchase: care, feel characteristics and price structure.

The key judgments
- 01Material choice is a care question. The softness/price trade and the maintenance trade point in opposite directions - know which you are paying.
- 02Full silicone generally cleans more simply and tends to hold surface detail longer. Stated conditionally: formulations vary by maker.
- 03Hybrid (silicone head + TPE body) buys head detail at body prices, with two care regimes. In current data the class runs heavy.
- 04No material is zero-maintenance. Any listing implying otherwise should be distrusted on that basis alone.
