Vie-Long Special Horse Hair PB14080
This brush is beautiful, although mine isn't red on top. It's kind of a persimmon color, still nice actually. The bottom is clear acrylic with white swirled in, in my case, about 50% mix. It's on the smallish side, handle is 1.73&quot; tall, 1.34&quot; wide and the loft of the hair is 2.03&quot;.  No noticeable odor upon receiving but haven't used it yet. Need to shampoo, rinse and dry a couple times before use. This is my first horsehair brush, this one is a 75th anniversary series and seems really soft but with a lot of backbone. Hoping and expecting this brush to be a good value with performance between badger and boar. Will update review after brush has been used enough to give proper critique.  Just be aware of size and variation of color.
