Just okay
This tin of brush soap arrived quickly. I use small brushes for egg tempera painting and, because I mix my own paints, I find that some pigments wash out easily while others need a bit more work to get the brush really clean. I found that, especially with small brushes, it was hard to get this soap to lather up at all. (In all fairness, when I purchased a similar product some years ago, it got better at this with repeated use.) However, my brushes do appear clean and are easy to reshape when I use the product. Hence, 4 stars because it does what it claims to do.<br /><br />One star was lost because the tin was packaged in a completely unnecessary plastic container that cannot be recycled. I am concerned enough about the environment that I feel there should be consequences to such practices. The other issue is that I believe this product, like most of its type, is overpriced. Take a mild bar soap, cut a piece off, put it in that jar lid that you can't recycle, and you have a brush soap that works as well or better. You will save money and have kept the jar lid out of the landfill.<br /><br />I appreciate the opportunity to try this product and review it. I know I'm opinionated about the environment and, if you need this type of product, I think this one does a fair enough job.
Rating: 4 stars
