If there was a brush with Bambi's hair, he would feel the same way. In fact, this brush is but vegan, synthetic "Hair". Those like me who has sensitive skin and does not want to scratch his face with rough bristles will be very pleased with this. The brush is not very firmly tied, yet suitable for all powder textures and soft (+ cheaper) than many MAC brushes. The brush is easy to clean. I use baby shampoo because my brush cleaner is too expensive and it reaches a "wash".
