Winsor & Newton 5224001 Series 240 Goat Hair Short Handle Brush-Wash #1, 1

Nice

This brush works excellent with oil paint hence the goat hair. Love love love this brush.. And it does not shed at all.

The brush it self it's amazing, holds water very well, nice long strokes, the hair is very good quality, but the only down side it's the packaging, it came in a plastic bag, a box would be nice, it didn't broke thankfully, but very poorly packed for such a nice brush and amazing brand

Nothing bad to say, does the job. A little expensive?

The brush was much bigger than the one I ordered. Also there is no designation on the brush about what size it is. I wouldn’t recommend this brush to another customer.

I use these to apply a shellac finish to my projects. They hold a lot of material and apply the shellac easily. They don’t leave brush marks either. They look to be hand made. Very nice. The bristles are soft and the brush feels good in the hand when applying finish.I now have 1”, 1.5” and 2” hake brushes. I’m very glad I bought these.

These are absolutely wonderful Brushes! If your using them correctly! These types of brushes are “KNOWN FOR” creating washes, and or, spreading a lot of paint around on a “LARGE AREA OR SPACE” you “DO NOT” use these to paint fine details, as I’ve already said these are absolutely perfect for use in washes, or to cover a lot of area in a short amount of time…I’m starting to believe these negative reviews are from people that don’t know what Hake brushes are really used for? Even if a brush loses a few hairs or (whatever is used in making ANY particular brush used in watercolor or acrylic paintings) it does happen! But does that mean you put down the maker or company of said brush because in your painting you experienced the loss of a few hairs? Come on People! That’s life! It happens! For Gods sake! get a clue, nothing and nobody is PERFECT! Only God is Perfect, quit leaving bad reviews over (1) bad experience! That really wasn’t that bad at all! Grow up! Great Company! Wonderful Products! Are they perfect? Of course not!Sometimes mistakes are made…quality control can miss something, it gets Thru, it gets sold to a painter or Artist, so what do you do? Shoot them ? Curse them? Give a Bad review? (4th choice) Or do you text the company with a picture of the brush your unhappy with and give them a chance to make it right? I say the 4th choice is the right choice!Respectfully Yours,Stephen JeffriesMentor, Ohio

I was very disappointed with this brush. It holds alot of water but the bristles are constantly falling out. I have had other brushes by this company and was happy with them so was expecting same quality. I do not recommend. I want to update my review and increase rating to 4 stars. I started using this brush again and find myself reaching for it more often. I realized that after using it a few times it was no longer losing bristles . It is actually quite nice for large areas and is very soft. Give it a try and just realize that you have to use it a bit to get rid of any loose bristles.
