Dry, it lifts dust out of the grain; with balm, it spreads the balm evenly\nacross a surface too large for a fingertip.

Horsehair is soft enough to\npass over a polished or vegetable-tanned surface without leaving a mark, and still stiff enough to\npull dust out of the grain and work balm into it. That balance is why saddlers have used it for a\ncentury, and why a nylon brush is the wrong tool on a bag you paid real money for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWooden handle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe handle is \u003cstrong\u003ewood\u003c\/strong\u003e, shaped to sit in the palm, with the Semender logo laser\nengraved into it.

The brush moves dust and spreads balm, but it does not feed the leather. Used with Semender Leather Balm the routine is: brush dry, apply balm, brush it even. Used alone, the brush is only doing the first step.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eWhich leather items can I use it on?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eWallets, bags, belts, watch straps and notebook covers, any smooth leather.

Suede needs a dedicated suede brush and a crepe block to lift the nap; a horsehair brush is made for smooth leather. Using this one on suede will not damage it, but it will not do much either.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eHow do I clean the brush?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eWipe the bristles with a dry cloth after each use.
