Very satisfied. I bought this as a gift for myself and my best friend’s birthday, with each of our names engraved on them to celebrate my 50th birthday. The soft feel on the skin is amazing with no prickling sensation. It picks up powder well, and when used as shown in the video, it brings a beautiful glow to the skin. The handle is the perfect length and thickness, making it easy to use. My friend was thrilled as well. I look forward to enjoying makeup even more with Chikuhodo’s brushes in the future.

Soft and fluffy, no prickling sensation. It's gentle on the skin. Most importantly, my makeup application has improved. Since I have sensitive skin, I was cautious in choosing this, and it was worth it. This was my best purchase in recent times.

The grey squirrel brush is incredibly soft and gentle, with no prickling sensation at all. It feels soothing, and the powder applies beautifully and evenly. I plan to use it with care for a long time.

I bought the Z-9 for myself. It's an expensive brush, so I pondered over it for years, but the grey squirrel makeup brush provides excellent application, and the softness against the skin is unparalleled. I regret not purchasing it sooner.

My skin is relatively sensitive, but there’s no prickling sensation, and the brush feels gentle on the skin while applying powder beautifully. I can’t imagine being without it. I definitely plan to buy your grey squirrel brush again when it’s time to replace it.

I use it to remove excess powder after applying face powder with a puff. The brush feels gentle and comfortable on the skin. It’s also very useful for quickly and cleanly sweeping away any eyeshadow or eyebrow powder that falls onto the face during makeup application.

The brush feels incredibly soft against my skin, lifting my spirits every time I use it. The powder foundation applies smoothly with just a light touch, making me worry if the powder is really on the brush, but it always applies evenly and gives a very natural finish. It’s extremely well-made with no patchiness. The simple and elegant design makes me want to collect more of these brushes. It’s pricey, but I’m glad I made this purchase.

Soft and doesn’t irritate my cheeks. The comfort is outstanding.

My skin is very sensitive to irritation, so I chose a soft brush. I was worried about how well it would pick up pressed powder, but there’s absolutely no issue. The silver fox eyeshadow brush I bought at the same time was excellent, so I’m thinking of trying the FO series powder brush someday.

The brush holds just the right amount of powder foundation and provides a soft, flawless finish.

It’s perfect for a finishing brush with the most gentle touch on the skin. It’s great for gently dusting off powder that’s been applied over carefully concealed areas.

I used to use Kumano brushes from another brand, but I was concerned about the irritation they caused, so I switched to Chikuhodo. As expected from a brush made with 100% grey squirrel hair, the texture is incredibly soft and surprising. I use it as a blush brush, and it applies color gently and elegantly.

The brush has firmness, luster, and volume. It’s amazing to get such a voluminous squirrel hair brush at this price! The brush is soft and gentle on the skin, yet it provides a glossy finish despite being made with squirrel hair. Due to its slightly longer hairs, it might feel a bit tricky to use depending on the size of your makeup container. If you prefer something more compact, I recommend the Z-1. I plan to use this one for finishing and the Z-1 as a powder brush.

The brush is densely packed and super soft. It met all my expectations, and powder applies beautifully on the skin. Very happy with it. Highly recommend!

This is my second Z-9 brush. About six years ago, I was amazed by its softness when I first purchased it at a department store. Once you start using it, you can’t use anything else, and I used it almost daily for six years. When it started to shed, I bought a second one. The brush applies powder evenly, creating a soft veil on the skin. I can attest to its quality after using it daily for six years. Please continue making such excellent brushes.

Compared to other brushes, this one causes much less strain on the skin. I intend to use it with care.

Because it's made with grey squirrel hair, it’s very expensive, but I’m extremely satisfied with it.

I loved using the face wash brush, so I looked up this brush on the website and purchased it. I love brushes and have a collection from Hakuhodo, Raphael, and Takeda, but this Chikuhodo brush is fantastic as well. The volume of hair is incredible, especially considering it’s made with grey squirrel hair! I’m debating whether to collect more from this series or save up for the extreme set.

I used to use a retractable brush bought at a cosmetics counter for ease of storage. The brush I purchased from Chikuhodo is soft and flexible, making me look forward to using it every day. I didn’t spend much time on touch-ups before, but now I even take time to touch up my makeup at home.

This brush, made with grey squirrel hair, feels incredibly soft on the skin. Just like in the video, if you move the brush as if inserting it under the downy hairs, it applies powder so evenly and beautifully that it’s almost shocking. The handle is the perfect thickness, fitting comfortably in my hand. I’m delighted to have bought such a fine product. I use it carefully every day.

This is the brush that got me into brushes. It was a gift, and the first time I used it, I was so surprised by how soft and smooth it felt on my skin that I got goosebumps! It was so soft and delicate as it glided over my skin—what a sensation! I use it carefully every day.

The amount and quality of the hair are exceptional, allowing you to apply makeup naturally and without waste, like draping a veil over your skin.

I have sensitive skin and used to feel prickling and irritation with makeup brushes. A friend recommended this brush, and after trying it, I loved how soft it felt on my skin without causing any irritation. The powder also applies smoothly and naturally, so I’m very satisfied. This time, I bought it as a birthday gift for a friend.
