Ode to my Japonesque #333 powder Brush

Oh Japonesque # 333 powder brush you are so perfect.
Your dense head of squirrel hair blend gives me even and full powder coverage.
Your bristles are so fine and soft. It feels as if silk is gliding across my face.
Washing you is a breeze, but alas waiting for you to dry can test me some days.
Your brush shape and integrity have held up these 5 short years and yet I feel as if 5 more years would not be a challenge for you.
You sit in my brush jar towering over my other powder brushes, as if you are the king of all powder brushes.
Your long black 6 and 1/2 in heavy wood handle and polished silver bristle holder makes you utilitarian yet luxurious.
You pick up powder like a magnet, or is the powder is attracted to you?
You evenly apply the finest powder from Make Up For Ever HD to La Mer Translucent to T. Le Clerc
Oh you make me happy as can be.
Your ability to give me an airbrushed look astounds me every time I use you.
You have never shed in the 5 years I have owned you. Never ever!
How is that so when my MAC, Bobbi Brown and other lesser brushes look like they are molting?
You have remained fluffy and full, even during those awful mineral makeup years of which we shall not speak.
Should you ever near retirement I won't hesitate to buy another one of you
And for a mere $37 how could I not?
Oh how I love you. Japonseque #333 brush.
