This brush is my first ever Rephr purchase and I was impressed with the softness and quality of the bristles. The problem I have is how anemic the amount of bristles are. Every post and RU-vid influencers’ post and videos I’ve seen make it seem fuller and denser than what I received. I was interested as I have dry, sensitive skin with eczema on my face and my synthetic drugstore brushes are now too rough for me. I’ve noticed that the older I get the more sensitive my face, neck, and chest has gotten so I’ve decided to invest in better quality tools. A lot of research goes into any of my purchases because higher price point isn’t always better. Especially in the skincare and cosmetics industry. Still, for a handmade brush of such high quality bristles for less than $100 it is an absolutely worth it purchase. I’ll consider getting some other brushes from the brand during their Black Friday sale this year. Still, I may just continue saving for Chikuhodo, Koyudo, and Sonia G brushes instead.
@geekingbeautyden Sorry to hear that your brush isn't as dense as you'd like it to be. I think my brush is on the lighter side of density too. The handmade nature of fude makes each individual brush different and it can be disappointing to see other's have a denser, nicer, or more evenly bundled brush than the one you received. I'm glad that you're impressed with the softness and quality of the hair at the very least!
Fantastic review:) I saw your community post first and immediately went and snagged the blush brush, then came back to watch your video:) I’m even more excited now after seeing it up close so to speak, and I am very tempted to purchase a second one as backup:) I absolutely *love* saibikoho so much, and this is one of my very favorite styles of brushes so I am very excited about this!! Thanks again:)❤❤❤
@PiXie232 Thank you for your kind words! I hope you love the brush!! So excited for you 🥰. I considered getting a backup too 😂. It's such a steal for the price. Saibikoho is such a wonderful hair type and I'm happy to hear that you love it too! The shape rounded out a lot post-wash and is so cute! 🩷 🩷 🩷
I received my brush this week and my biggest gripe is the weight of the handle. It would feel much more luxurious with a little more weight added. Nevertheless, it’s soft enough for me as a goat hair brush.
@AnaLopez-zz8rk I haven't used it yet but I noticed that the goat hair is a lot finer than the one on the Premium series and Monochrome Cheek Brush so it breaks easily.. I was so surprised it fluffed up as much as it did though! Is yours also really fluffy?
Yeah mine also did fluff out ! I’m just happy that the squirrel blend is different than the round one I bought last year! I haven’t even used that one because it’s so prickly and not good !
@@AnaLopez-zz8rk That's great to hear! Hopefully they come out with more of these types of brushes in the future. Yea, it is really hit or miss :(. Oh wow, you haven't even used it. It's so disappointing to get bad brushes!
