The little brush cleans everything.

This little round brush is perfect for just about everything! I use it not just for leather, but cleaning delicate fabrics (especially silk), fur, metal, and anything that requires dry-brush cleaning. I buy multiples on these and label the wooden handle for each of their intended uses. The only thing that could make this brush better is if it had a hole at the bottom of the handle, because I also use this in my "on set" kit to brush off dirt and dandruff from costumes.

Good price, but lots of hairs are coming out

The stiffness of the bristles was perfect for using with the neutral wax shoe polish, but many hairs are coming out of the brush. So it's messy, but also unsure of the longevity of this item.

Just what I wanted!

I believe this brush is intended for shoe wax?? But I purchased it to get tarnish off intricate details of my sterling silver by applying tarnish remover and working it into the details with the brush. Rinsing and drying silver and brush off. Then using brush again to apply polish. Worked fabulously!
