The Escoda Golden Toray provides artists with one of the finest quality synthetic fibers available for working with oils, acrylics, or watercolors. It is slightly stiffer than the Toray White and keeps an excellent edge for a soft, yet controlled application. Each brush includes a short, lacquered, green wooden handle and a triple-crimped, nickel-plated brass ferrule. Finally, Escoda “cures” each brush with a secret, exclusive process, building memory into the brush and enhancing the natural characteristics of the fine hairs, resulting in remarkable spring and resilience.
