What makes this brush special
The brush should feel directional and lively. Its angled edge allows the tip to land in a fine line, then widen as pressure or angle changes. That means the brush responds to hand movement more dramatically than a round or flat. The sable hair should provide a supple spring and a clean release, making it good for strokes that need an elegant taper. [inferred]

How we measure a brush
A visual guide to the measurements shown in the size chart above.
These are the same measurements shown in the size chart above. Brush sizes are not standardised across brands, so use these dimensions when comparing brushes within a series or between manufacturers.
- Tuft Length
- The visible length of the brush hairs, measured from the ferrule to the tip.
- Belly Diameter
- The widest point of the brush head. On round brushes, this is the widest part of the belly.
- Total Length
- The full measurement from the tip of the brush to the end of the handle.
How to care for your brush
Clean with lukewarm water and mild soap, taking care not to distort the angled tip during washing. Reshape along the sword edge after cleaning and dry it with the head protected. Do not leave it soaking or resting on the point, because the angled profile can deform permanently. As with all sable brushes, the key is gentle cleaning and careful storage. [inferred]
