Robert Simmons Titanium synthetic bristle brushes offer all the qualities of the finest Chungking interlocked hog bristle but can be used with all thicknesses of acrylic and oil paints. An interlocked process enables these brushes to hold their shape while affording precise stroke control. They retain their sharp edge or point and their strength even when wet.

Lacquered kiln-dried birch handles are resin bonded to crimped brass ferrules, which are coated with a solvent-resistant finish that resembles titanium. The manufacturer offers a lifetime guarantee.

Note — Brush sizes are not standardized. The length and width of a brush of a given shape and size varies considerably by manufacturer. Since fine art brushes are handmade, expect some variation even among brushes from a given manufacturer.

Comments about Robert Simmons Titanium Brush Packs:

GREAT BRUSHES at any price. Hold up to rigors of Oil painting but not too stiff to work in water color also. These are my new favorite brushes.

Comments about Robert Simmons Long Handle Titanium Filbert Series TT42:

I work in water mix oils and the brush works even and smooth.
Even when you don't get the paint mix quite right you still are able to proceed as you ordinarlly would. Keep the brush
clean and it will work and look as new. I have gone thru a lot of others and I will not go back.Norm

ferrel loose from handle

Pros

Cons

Best Uses

Comments about Robert Simmons Long Handle Titanium Filbert Series TT42:

I use this brush with acrylic paint on canvas. Size 10 or 12 flat. I like a stiff brush, and do dry brush and a lot of rubbing. It's OK for all of this, but the handle feels too light to me. The problem I have is the metal ferrel is loose from the handle. I would have sent it back, but I couldn't be bothered with the effort. I just rammed the handle into the metal part, and hoped for the best. The Royal Langnickle Bordeaux brush is similar but exudes an all-around solid quality. I prefer it much more for about the same price.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Great acrylic and oil brushes

By VS

from NY

Pros

Cons

Best Uses

Comments about Robert Simmons Long Handle Titanium Filbert Series TT42:

After using natural bristle brushes for several years, I decided to make the switch to synthetics at the same time when I switched to acrylics exclusively. Quality synthetics, such as this one, seem to hold up much better than bristle brushes in any type of painting, acrylic painting especially. While I did notice that they hold a bit less paint than bristle brushes, that is to be expected in any synthetic brush. Synthetics also do not become fat and distorted when kept in water, unlike bristle brushes.

I have an entire set of these and they have been holding up very well after nearly eight months of use. The hairs do not shoot out to different ends. The hairs are in between soft and firm. Coupled with good cleaning (Silicoil Brush Tank and water, followed by Master's Brush Cleaner), I am confident in the manufacture's lifetime guarantee.

This is a well-crafted and nice-looking brush. I cannot comment on whether or not it is best in its class, but I cannot imagine someone being less than very satisfied with these. The printed text on the brush is also not coming off one bit yet.
