Pommadier Applicator Spreading Brush - Black

The Pommadier brush is the professional-standard tool for applying shoe cream and wax to leather. Its natural horsehair bristles hold and distribute product more evenly than a sponge or cloth applicator — each bristle carries a small amount of product and deposits it consistently across the leather surface during the circular application motion. The result is a more even initial coat that requires less work to buff to an even finish.

The black-bristle version is designated for dark leather use — the residual cream left in the bristles after each application means that using the same brush on light leather would contaminate the pale surface with dark pigment. Maintaining separate brushes for dark and light leathers is a small discipline that prevents a frustrating and sometimes irreversible colour contamination of pale shoes.
