KOYUDO Sakura makie powder brush,Flame,saibikoho/gray squirrel mix high grand Saikoho,by Yoshiki

So this review is for the squirrel/saikoho mix (black handle).. I really like this brush, though it does feel a lot denser and stiff (I don’t know if that’s the right term) but it doesn’t have as much movement as the saibikoho or fox version, especially if kept in brush guard. But I got it to floof up quite nicely when I finally washed it and didn’t put a brush guard on it afterwards. But I really like the mix of hair type in this brush a lot. I would love to see these brushes with a 45mm hair length, so as to give it a bit more movement. But I still love all of them and am really glad I picked them up!! The makie is beautiful and I love the black/gold and red/gold gradient so much:) And they’re nicely weighted too.. they’re not really lightweight but not heavy either. Just right;)

Absolutely gorgeous brush!! Craftsmanship is phenomenal, the saibikoho is as soft as silk, and I love- love the shape of the brush! It’s my favorite style of brush head. So pleased with my purchase!! And the little sweets she sent were lovely and very thoughtful! I am so excited because I was able to snag the black handled one as well, so I’m thrilled I’ll have the set:) Thank you Bobo!!
