The head has a first and second end and a first and second side. The first and second ends and first and second sides form an open frame and a plurality of ribs extend between the first and second ends to define a first set of air slots. The handle has first and second ends and the first end of the handle is attached to the second end of the head. The bristle insert includes an open frame, a plurality of convex webs, a plurality of spaced bristles, and a connector. The open frame has first and second sides and first and second ends. The plurality of convex webs extend between the first and second sides of the open frame and are spaced from one another to define a second set of air slots. The plurality of spaced bristles are carried on each of the webs and extend outward from the webs. The connector mates with the frame of the head to connect the bristle insert to the head.
