Rafaeli has been a manufacturer that has been historically recognized as one industry, and has been continuing to make brushes for a long time. In the year of Rafaeli (1793) and in Japan, it was the time that songi and Chigarakura were competing in the five years of Koshi Edo. In Europe, famous painters such as Picasso and Cezanne, they loved the Rafaeli Brush. With the knowledge and network cultivated in a long history, we have the raw hair sourcing and processing system that only Rafaeli can do. In addition, this brush is made with craftsmanship that has been passed down over generations without cutting the edge of the hair with a blade, and each piece is handmade and made in a style that is the same as it was originally established on. For more than two centuries, Rafaelian brushes have been polished to the demands of millions of painters, potters, and stained glass authors in France and beyond foreigns. Review: Excellent brush, size bigger than competitors - Raphael Kolinsky brushes are great. I use these to paint miniatures. I’ve tried Winsor and Davinci. Winsor is very good, but tends to loose strands and splits. These are smooth, paint flows well. You must keep them clean, even by cleaning during your project or they will also start to split, but recover perfectly with a quick clean. These have lasted longer than any others I have used and I am not kind to my brushes. My hand does not tire, the quality is great and consistent (some brands vary). I can get to small details even with a larger size. Oh yes...also Raphael sizes are larger than Winsor and davivci...so a 0 Winsor is the same as a 00 Raphael. Review: Fantastic Brush! - The Raphael Kolinsky Sable brushes are the best I've found at the price point thus far for model and miniature painting. They have great control, the bristles snap just the right amount and they hold paint well. One possible downside is they tend to come with a label on the end of the handle which might irritate some people depending on your grip, but it is removable and a little acetone or alcohol will get the adhesive off of it. All in all, I'd say you can't go wrong with these brushes for model and miniature painting. To compare them, I like them just a little bit more than the Windsor Newton Series 7, primarily because they don't have the guide hair which is tends to bother me personally, but they are generally on par otherwise. ## Features - Material: Kolinsky - Country of Origin: France ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B005QS82C4 | | Best Sellers Rank | #438,753 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ( See Top 100 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ) #78 in Pointed-Round Art Paintbrushes | | Brand Name | Raphael | | Bristle Type | Round Pointed Bristle | | Brush Width | 1.8 Millimeters | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (162) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 03046450049289 | | Handle Type | Rattail Handle | | Item Type Name | Brush | | Manufacturer | Raphael(ラファエル) | | Manufacturer Part Number | BRS84042/0 | | Material Type | Sable | | Model Number | B8404.2/0 | | Paint Type | Stainless Steel | | Set Name | Rafaeli | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Raphael - **Bristle Type:** Round Pointed Bristle - **Brush Width:** 1.8 Millimeters - **Color:** Black - **Material:** Sable ## Images ![Raphael 8404 Kolinsky Round 2/0 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31pGyKAkrUL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent brush, size bigger than competitors *by S***A on October 7, 2018* Raphael Kolinsky brushes are great.

They have great control, the bristles snap just the right amount and they hold paint well. One possible downside is they tend to come with a label on the end of the handle which might irritate some people depending on your grip, but it is removable and a little acetone or alcohol will get the adhesive off of it.

You'll probably have to experiment to know exactly how you want to use it, but I use it for... Almost everything. It's especially well suited for edge highlights, I think. It's the most expensive brush I own, and I'm not thrilled about the price. I own 13 other brushes that cost me, I think, around $15 *total*, brand new. But I don't regret it at all. I even bought a second one just in case they stop making them or disappear in a few years. I've been using the same brush for over a year. About 14 months. I've started to wear off the gold writing on the handle, but aside from that, it's like new. I take good care of my brushes so this isn't really surprising, but I have lost a couple of cheaper ones due to hairs coming loose. Some of my brushes annoy me. Some leave bubbles, or fray randomly, or drop hairs. Some just don't seem to hold any damn paint. This one is just a joy, though. ## Frequently Bought Together - Raphael 8404 Kolinsky Round 2/0 - Winsor & Newton Series 7 Kolinsky Sable Brush, Round SH #1,Black - Raphael 8404 Kolinsky Round No. 2 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/9550291-raphael-8404-kolinsky-round-2-0](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/9550291-raphael-8404-kolinsky-round-2-0) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
