The ‘Loob Brush’ is an amazing collaboration between loob.no and a family-owned brushmaker in the UK, who have been making brushes since just after the first world war. Loob has brought out the 2mm wide brush.
Specifications
The handle is made from solid, FSC-certified birch wood, lacquered in Loob’s signature green. Standard artist brushes are designed for long, controlled strokes, and as such their handle is usually too long. Making them unwieldy for lubing switches comfortably. We shortened the handle to 13cm, which gives the user finer control over a shorter area, while still being long enough to support larger hands.
It was decided that the optimal size and shape of a lubing brush is around 2mm wide. Whilst also being a flat head. This is thanks to feedback from the community, This is just about right for lubing a switch stem in a single stroke, but not too large, so as not to get in the way of more delicate work. The flat head prevents excessive splay and discourages accidental over-lubing.
Bristles
The bristles are made from PBT instead of standard acrylic fibres. Thus making them both vegan-friendly and compatible with the lubricants and solvents most commonly used in the keyboard community.
