Review on πŸ–ŒοΈ da Vinci Graphic Design Series 2485: Soft White Goat Hair Dusting Brush with Lacquered Wood Handle - Top Choice for Graphic Designers by Larry Morris

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great tool for pencil artists

I've been using da Vinci brushes for dust removal for many years and I love this soft goat hair version for creating pencil illustrations on paper with a light textured paint. A gentle wipe will remove most of the dust and eraser residue, while a little firmer pressure will remove all but the most stubborn shavings. It helps a lot to keep the side of my hand clean. You lose something initially, but in my application that's not a problem. They can also be cleaned - use warm (not hot) water and mild liquid castile soap (like Dr. Bronner's) and then air dry thoroughly. After a few years of illustrated use and more thorough cleaning, these brushes have retired as great electronics cleaning brushes. They are soft enough to penetrate every corner of the keyboard and clear large areas of dust with one wipe.

Pros
  • Originally designed for architects, draftsmen, engineers and artists
Cons
  • Trivia
