Please note: Russian brush sizes differ from English brush sizes. A Russian number 1 is roughly the same size as an English number 1, but then they start to differ. A Russian size 8 is the same size as an English size 14. The Russian brush number designates the width, in millimeters, of the hair as it leaves the ferrule.
