## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great synthetic alternative.
*by C***U on September 5, 2019*

Wonderful brush. Holds an excellent amount of water, fine tip for small lines, and has a great snap. I see no outstanding difference between this and my Silver Black Velvet brushes. It holds "slightly" less water than my BV, maybe 5-10% less, but it still retains it's lovely snap. My issue with my Silver is it dosen't have any snap at all, and the bristles go all over the place. The Black Velvets are still good(and **beautiful** lol let's be real) brushes, but it doesn't make sense to spend twice as much when there are alternatives like the Princeton Elite. Very happy.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent
*by R***S on January 30, 2020*

This is a great brush. Hold plenty of water, and has a fine point.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for Detail
*by P***L on October 22, 2024*

Excellent. Holds substantial water and pigment. For me, perfect balance between stiffness and flexibility.
