I got a Chikuhodo T6 with a flaw in the handle and several upside-down bristles in 2016. The cdjapan first told me that I could send the parcel back to them with my own money and then they will give me the "reward points" for the shipping fee. I didn't like the way they suggested. And then they told me they could give me a discount of 500 reward points if I kept the defective item. The Chikuhodo T6 is sold for 3500 yen. I didn't want to waste my money for shipping and bundle me with buying more from the cdjapan, possibly more defective items(unfortunately it became the truth), so I chose 500 points. If you got defective items, I suggest you bargain for more compensation as cdjapan usually sell defective items with 20%-40% off. I couldn't give five stars for this one as I hoped for delight with buying the expensive brush but I was not able to be happy with a defective one.

The hair is too fluffy. Brush gard can't make it stiff. It can't work as a eyeliner brush. Don't buy it.

The brush is good for thick compact powder foundation, but it always sheds one or two bristles whenever I use it. I don't know if there is some particular problem with my brush or the shedding is general with all the BP 013.

It's a very good cheek brush that can make your blush beautiful with a satin glimmer. But the bristles are easy to knot when I use it buffing the blush. It's hard to imagine, but it's the fact.

Very good for highlighting, eyelid, shading. The bristles look and feel like saikoho. A good brush not expensive.

I bought it at the price of 13200yen. Now it's 11000yen. How did it happen? Koyudo's bonus? Anyway, it's an excellent brush except for the price.
