Brushes With Silver Fox Bristles
My Silver Fox Brushes are a delight to use.
They are a little springier than Russian Sable and have similar ultra-fine tip.
The Silver Fox brush is excellent for any water based paint or ink. It is also excellent for any of the less viscous solvent based paints or inks. But remember that solvents accelerate brush wear.
The Silver Fox hair is fairly uniform and is about 1/4th the diameter of a human hair. The hair has a long taper at the tip end which gives the brush a long and ultra-fine tip.
The Silver Fox hair I use comes from the guard hair. It is double dressed, meaning the hair is thoroughly cleaned two times, and the irregular hairs are combed out. As a result, it is uniform. Silver Fox is kind of the Porsche of the paintbrush world, and the vast majority who use it are delighted.
It is excellent for lettering, wet or dry brush and makes soft dry brush results. It is a spoiler of a brush and many who use it have made it one of their main brushes.
I offer this brush in one bristle length of about 3/4 inch and about 1 inch.
