Higher quality travel brush made from synthetics that perform similarly to natural hairs but are definitely stiffer and hold less water. If you’re accustomed to synthetics and are looking for a nice travel brush then you’ll be pleased with this item.
It’s very sleek and attractive, as well as light weight and balanced. It has an air hole at the end of the cap to protect the brush from mold and mildew, should you mistakenly cap it while still wet. Holds a nice point. Performs well, especially for details. No shedding or misshaped bristles. Good value

Solid synthetic travel brush
I've now tried both the size 6 and 8 versatil brushes. I think they carry most of the well known characteristics of synthetic brushes, and do them well. (Holds a nice fine point, has quite a bit of spring, loses water rather quickly) I wasn't blown away or anything, nor do they feel exceptionally "better" (as in being closer to a nature hair brush) than other synthetic brushes. As always, my only downside with synthetic brushes are they use up the water very quickly, and after 1 stroke or so, the brush is most likely already streaking. With these kind of brushes, I usually would intentionally really load up the water with the brush (and refrain from taking some water off the tip which I do habitually). Only then, can I get some larger washes going in one go. With the fine point and amount of spring, it's quite easy to control and get finer details. #8 definitely feels more versatile (no pun intended..) than #6. Since they lose water so quickly anyway, I think #8 is well capable of doing anything a #6 could do, AND on top of that, will be able to carry a bit more water for larger areas if needed. The barrels are the same size for both 6 and 8. The wooden part around the grip has a really odd, kind of repulsive smell. (I've purchased the 2 versatils from different sellers, and they both have the smell) The only way I could describe it is it reminds me of a rotting bone, or something old. Not very pleasant, but I could only smell it it was pretty close to the nose. I'm hoping it will go away after some months.. It feels like the smell is almost engraved into it; can't imagine it going away anytime soon. The cap posts very securely (at least for now, it is quite new). It does feel like it will get looser with use over time. The brush fits in the common 12 half pan metal travel palettes (photo) would've been 5/5 stars if just advertised as a travel synthetic brush. "Synthetic kolinsky"- not so sure if I feel any difference.. update (about half a month) - Good news, I've left them uncapped for the past half month or so, and I noticed the particular smell of the grip area has been significantly faded. update 5/3/19- I still own the brush; I still use it from time to time. I think I don't reach for it as often as my other brushes because of its overall weight distribution and my personal tastes. The barrel & cap have become looser when posting from usage (just a bit so far. the cap won't fall off by itself from being held upside down), so I have a feeling I will need to fix it up with a thin layer of tape soon.
