"This is one of Princeton's best-selling and most affordable brush lines. For students, these are great brushes to start with — but they're also ideal for artists who do a lot of scrubbing and really beat up their brushes!
Strong, sturdy, inexpensive, and made for everyday use, these all-purpose brushes are for use with oil and acrylic paint. Thick and full-bodied, they hold lots of paint. Pure interlocking white Chinese hog bristle holds its shape extremely well.
Each brush has a seamless aluminum ferrule, fitted into a lacquered dark blue handle." - Blick "Traditional natural hair, pure hog bristle. Ideal for oil color painting but can also be used with acrylics. Series 5200 defines the ideal relationship between quality and value." -Princeton

For stiffness, Princeton rates this as 5/5 for stiffness. They recommend this brush for oil (5/5), and to a lesser extent, Acrylic (3/5), while it is not recommended for watercolor.
