Re: ONCE AGAIN: RICHESON MAGIC BRUSH
Hi Chris,
I hear you. These brushes are very well made. Despite the apparent
price difference, they are very reasonable if you take the craft
involved into consideration.
I will get back to you with details soon.
Warmly,
Tsuyoshi

Tsuyoshi,
Please put my name down for a 2 and 3 inch. I have several Richeson
Magic Brushes in different sizes and for the price you pay they are
SO cheaply made, they flake like mad, they rust, and they are quite
frustrating to me as much as they save me money in pt/pd chemistry.
I can't tell you how many times they have flaked paint into my brush
coat.
I know someone on the list recommended dipping the handle in Dip-It
from the hardware store to coat the handle (all my handles are now
essentially wood, no paint left) so that is my next resort when I
find time to go to the hardware store, and I do still recommend them
but geesh...
Mine also have the name Stephen Quiller on them, aside from
Richeson, and I have the 7010 series.
I have also used the Royal Langnickel Sno-White series, which has a
fake taklon bristle, but no side-by-side studies as to which soaks
the most up.
Chris

Hi everyone,
Speaking of magic brushes, I am about to take orders for magic
brushes made in Japan. The pricing and other details will follow.
Contact me off the list if you are interested. I will go back to
Japan in December to order directly.
This brush is hand-made one by one by a brush maker in Tokyo. This
came about when I brought some Richeson brushes to a friend in
Japan. My friend brought them to a rush artisan to take them apart
and change the handle to wood so there will be not rust issue.
Then he later discovered that he had very similar bristle in stock
and came up with the brush. Here is a picture of mine:

Since it is produced as made-to-order, we can make it as wide as
you want (with a practical limit..). It is a bit pricy and it is
about the price of two Richeson brushes (with a fluctuation of
exchange rate). But if you will have to replace once or twice,
then this will make a sense.
Please feel free to contact me with questions.
Warmly,
Tsuyoshi

than 4" for 20X24 paper.
CHEERS!

DEAR LIST,
I am hoping to buy a few more 4" Richeson Magic brushes but I can't
seem to find them at the art suppliers. Can anyone tell me where
they can
be found? Do they have new names?
I seem to recall this discussed recently but can't find the posts.
CHEERS!
BOB
