Product Description
This synthetic fiber brush offers a high capacity for paint retention. The wavy undulating shape of each fiber creates spaces on the bristle that hold an increased amount of water molecules in contrast to more straight and slippery conventional synthetic fibers. The wavy fiber technology allows for these synthetic fibers to hold twice as much color.

Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2023
The negatives: The outer bristles on this are cut short while the inner ones are longer. This cut makes it difficult to paint dry brush techniques with the side of the brush or to paint long, expressive curves as the bristles end up flaying. It's a bit chunky, like a mop brush with a point, and seems to work best with a fair amount of water. Because of its fat center and short outer bristles, this brush takes getting used to. The wires that tie the handle to the brush are not covered and the pointy ends of the twists stand out.
The pros: Despite the man-made fibers, it does hold a lot of water. After a couple uses, it softened up and felt more like a squirrel brush than any other synthetic brush I've tried. The bristles bend and curve and hold that shape nicely (when wet). The pointed tip makes it more versatile than the average mop, capable of creating a thin to thick line. While it is possible to paint with only this brush and a rigger, add a quality medium round brush and you have a serviceable set.

Não acredito que um produto tão caro chegue dessa forma em minha casa.?
Está todo arranhado e muito mal re-pintado. Além das cerdas chegarem tortas, desalinhadas e enviesadas.
