Raphaël KEVRIN+ Mongoose Synthetic Blend Brushes

Exceptional Performance Without Endangered Mongoose Hair!

Established in 1793, Raphaël has been renowned for the impeccable quality of their artist’s brushes as well as their more recent innovations. With the banning of Mongoose harvesting due to their endangered status, brush makers all over the globe have been scrambling to find an alternative to the beloved brush hair. It took years of research for Raphaël to create a brush that would replicate all the characteristics of their famed KEVRIN without using its original Mongoose composition. A blend of several natural hairs and a proprietary groundbreaking synthetic fiber enabled the creation of the perfect Mongoose substitute, called KEVRIN+.

Raphaël was so satisfied it believes it to in fact be a better brush than its predecessor, while offering all the features a quality oil and acrylic brush requires. KEVRIN+ offers the same exceptional durability, precision, and elasticity of their original Mongoose brushes, with the same ideal consistency, spring, and bristle shape memory. Like the old Mongoose brushes, the new hair blend has the suppleness of a red sable with the strength of hog bristle, but with a texture and firmness somewhere in between. Brushes are easy to clean and offer excellent paint retention.

KEVRIN+ still bears the elegant, long, double-dipped black lacquered handles and nickel-plated ferrules of their original design.
