Extremely rough
I was sold on the beautiful handle coupled with amazing reviews on the nadeshiko series. There have also been multiple reviews saying this would be as soft as sokoho from other brands. I had high expectations and was ultimately quite disappointed. The brush in its packaging was stunning. Performance wise it was lacking. The hair was extremely rough. Easily the roughest brush in my collection. After using it to apply bronzer, my skin felt extremely sore. Perhaps I just have very delicate skin, but I would advise against purchasing this brush when there are plenty of other softer options at this price point from other manufacturers.
