The Roubloff DKG3R No. 5 is a professional-grade hybrid brush that blends the unique properties of two elite natural hairs. It is designed specifically for nail artists who need a tool capable of both high-capacity product loading and fine, controlled detailing.

Brush Highlights

• Hybrid Hair Blend: Combines Squirrel hair (known for its incredible softness and superior liquid retention) with Kolinsky hair (prized for its "snap," elasticity, and sharp point).

• No. 5 Sizing: A versatile mid-to-large size that is excellent for smooth background shading, yet tapers to a fine enough point for monograms and flourishes.

• Smooth Product Pickup: The squirrel fibers allow the brush to hold a significant amount of gel or paint, ensuring a continuous flow without the need for constant reloading.

• Professional Control: The addition of Kolinsky hair provides the structural "spine" needed to guide the brush with precision.

• Signature Handle: Features a hand-treated, balanced handle designed to reduce hand fatigue during intricate design sessions.

Technical Specifications

This hybrid model serves as a "bridge" between soft wash brushes and stiff detailers:

Why the Squirrel & Kolinsky Blend?

• Streak-Free Application: The softness of the squirrel hair helps eliminate "track marks" in gel polish, while the Kolinsky hair ensures the brush doesn't become too limp when loaded with thicker products.

• Longevity: This blend is highly durable. The Kolinsky fibers protect the more delicate squirrel hairs from losing their shape over time.

• Versatility: While a 100% Kolinsky brush is stiffer and a 100% Squirrel brush is much softer, this hybrid is the perfect "all-rounder" for artists who want one brush that can do it all.

Care and Maintenance

1. No Harsh Solvents: Avoid using pure acetone. Natural hair fibers will become brittle and splay. Use a specialized brush cleanser or clear base gel.

2. Directional Cleaning: Always wipe the brush in the direction of the hair growth on a lint-free pad.

3. Point Preservation: After cleaning, use your fingertips to gently pull the damp bristles into a sharp point before storing.

4. Flat Storage: Store the brush horizontally to prevent moisture or product from settling into the ferrule.
