This brush is made with our exclusive blend of superfine grey horsehair hand-selected for softness and strength. The densely packed bristles of this brush provide better coverage and a higher shine, and are soft enough to use on delicate leathers. The curvature or the lacquered birch allows cradles perfectly in your hand and features carved grips on both sides for better control and easy handling. When you're not treating your leather, this brush also works great at removing lint and pet hair from fabrics and textiles. Densely packed bristles provide better coverage and higher shine. It's completely normal for the brush to shed some bristles during the first several uses. When you first receive your brush, we recommend running a comb through the brush to remove some of these loose bristles. Bristle shedding will subside after several uses.
