Escoda Ultimo Synthetic Squirrel Round Travel Brush, Various Sizes

It was the autumn of 1933 when Escoda (the surname of the founder) became the first brush factory in Spain.  

An almost perfect imitation of squirrel has been achieved with this artificial hair. Thanks to the special fiber in this Último series, extraordinary softness and a capacity to retain liquids is achieved which is virtually the same as that found in the natural squirrel hair. The Último series could become a synthetic hair benchmark to gradually replace natural hair in the future.

In order to create the brush, flakes of hair (natural or artificial) are wrapped in nickel and covered with a thin layer of metal, the brush handle is wood that is engraved with the brush’s number, brand, name of the series, type of hair, and city of manufacture.

The metal cap has a tiny hole in the top so the brush can dry after recapping. Each brush is lovingly handmade so may vary a bit in size.

Available in Sizes: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 16
