I thought I lost/threw out my new WG brush set! Was in a panic for quite a bit, but finally found them. That would have been epic. And clearly I have too much new stuff, I have no clue where I'm putting it!

^^ Oh geez, that would suck. Glad you found them! I just ordered a second set. I love the pink and am really enjoying them. @S

@Shars how are you enjoying the 18?
LOL! It's still sitting in the brush holder. I wanted to use it today but I haven't washed it nor any of my new brushes as yet (I'm so lazy when it comes to washing brushes) but hopefully I can get to use it this weekend. I like the size of it though. Does anyone else feel like these brushes look way bigger on the Beautylish website than they do in real life? Has me thinking if I should pick up the other eye brush set... http://www.beautylish.com/s/wayne-goss-the-eye-set
Does anyone else have it or feel any way about it? I also wonder if Beautylish is going to do another collaboration brush set with Chikuhodo for Christmas!

Talking of Goss brushes, the Holiday brush is being added to the permanent line soon as the 00. https://www.beautylish.com/shop/wayne-goss-00-signup?utm_source=house&utm_campaign=COM.GossBrush00.HPLarge

Did anybody see the email about a new Wayne Goss holiday brush this year? It's a different style and shape than other years. It looks really big... I'm wondering if I should get it.

And Chikuhodo has a gold set and a pink set for the holidays, too!

It looks like it may be a little bigger than the 135? I'm interested to know what the price will be for it.

The Chikuhodo sets look gorgeous.

The new WG brush is $115.
Hmm, I have quite a few brushes now so I'm undecided on it.
Still tempting... :/

Just placed an order for the same. Looks like a nice option for finishing powders!

Ordered a Chikuhodo T-4 last night! Very excite.

ETA: It's here! It's currently drying, as I washed it shortly after it came in.

Anyone here had problems with Hakuhodo brushes shedding hair? I bought a Hakuhodo J507 brush in May last year and it has been shedding hairs daily every time I use it. I use it to dust loose powder on my face.

I have several other Hakuhodo brushes and never had this problem. I am wondering whether it is just that particular brush?

I have three eye brushes, and they've never shed on me so far!

Was it always shedding, or is this a more recent thing?

It was always shedding, right from day one until today! I am just wondering whether if it is a manufacturing defect? I have not had such a problem with my other Hakuhodo brushes.

From what I understand the J Series is supposed to be much better than the B Series. I have a mix of B, K and J Series brushes. This is the only one which sheds daily!

I have 3 different hakuhodo brushes, no shedding of any of them. Sounds like a lemon if it was doing it from day one.

I finally purchased the famous Suqqu cheek brush. I did it through Selfridge's. They don't charge VAT tax to the US and when they showed the price in USD it wasn't as bad as when I tried to figure out the price myself months ago. I just had to get beyond that steep shipping price, so I ordered a few other things not available in the US and I totally justified it to myself. Lol, we all play that game sometimes.

Anyway, it really is a beautiful brush. The bristles are soft and the brush is not densely packed. So, there is very little pressure on your face when you apply powder. No other brush I own feels this way on the cheek. It's definitely a treat to own. It's the single most expensive brush I have. I've only had it for a few days so we'll see how it works with different powders. I hope this helps anyone on the fence thinking about it.

Chikuhodo R-P4. Incredibly soft! I got it to use with bronzer, but I can also see myself using it with setting powder.
