I love this brush. I have oily skin, and this is just as resilient as goat to me. It works well with powder, and I’m glad to have it.

This brush is quite beautiful and seeing as how it is made of Kolinsky and a large face brush I had to purchase it as it is an unusual find. I was very surprised to find that it is quite silky and smooth. It applies virtually any face product with perfection, whether it be bronzer, blush, highlighter, contour or face powder. I am very happy to have this added to my collection. I am adding a photo comparing it against a Chikuhodo Homare KZ-3 and a Chikuhodo Takumi-5 (kept in a brush guard) for size comparison, so that one may get a sense of just how large the brush is. The feel of the bristles are silkier than even gray squirrel but have the resilience of goat, it is a feeling unlike any other brush that I have. I have dry skin and the application of products with this brush is perfect, causing no irritation. Also, just to note, the Raden brushes with the chartreuse handles have the flower mother of pear inlay on the one side of the handle and on the other have the word "Yoshiki" engraved instead of "Koyudo Collection" like the red handles do. I purchased the large eye brush in the red handle and noticed the difference. Just something to note as I didn't find it mentioned anywhere. I would recommend this brush if it is of interest.

This old stock kolinsky hair with raden handle is just a piece of art. Thank you Fude Beauty for bringing this beautiful brush to us!
