Frequently Asked Questions
Is squirrel hair ethically sourced?
Yes, sourced as a byproduct from regulated, sustainable sources. CTR uses Persian/Caucasian squirrel specifically selected for brush-making quality.
Why is squirrel hair considered the softest?
The fibres are hollow inside. This reduces weight and increases elasticity, creating an ultra-light touch. Combined with the fine diameter and scale structure, it's the softest natural bristle available.
Good for beginners?
Yes, the tapered tip provides natural guidance for placement.
How long will this brush last?
With proper care, 5-10 years. The seasoned wood handle resists cracking and warping.
