Product Review: Jacksons Sable Retractable Brush
Jan 20th, 2012 by Julie
The blog Billie’s Craft Room has done a very flattering review of our Jackson’s Sable Retractable Brush and I wanted to share!
She recommends the brush because it is lightweight, has a tight fitting cap, is a good quality brush with a good point, has an air hole in the cap to let out any dampness, and is excellent value for money. She says “This is a truly excellent brush, which is a joy to use.”
It is great to hear such positive feedback about one of our own brand products. Thanks Billie!
Note: we had a rush on these brushes for Christmas and are currently out of stock. We are expecting to have them again in late February. Thank you in advance for your patience.
