"Since I was getting some hobby-type odds and ends from Amazon, it seemed a reasonable idea to get some cheapo brushes while I was at it. A lot of my brushes are coming to the end of their useful careers, so it does no harm to stock up a bit. I've moaned about this before, but I have a very frustrating personal history with brushes. On occasions I have treated myself to something really expensive, and have usually been disappointed. Some of the best brushes I ever had were second-quality bin ends from Hobbycraft – very unpredictable. Eventually I get to a position where I have a jam jar full of scruffy wrecks, plus a couple of remaining brushes that will still form a decent point, and then one night I lose a bristle or two, and things start to get a bit tense!…" Main page link Amicalement Armand |

The expensive Humbrol brushes he bought do have poor tips and he is rightfully upset. But all sable brushes are not the same. Still I believe his brushes could be "trained" using the "Masters" brush cleaning soap. Be that as it may I would stick to W+N #7 Kolinsky or Rosemary and Co. Kolinsky brushes. But I found 2 Chinese Kolinsky brushes in the Hobby Lobby in Fredericksburg during one of the Historicon conventions for about $4 USD-5 each. They were awesome too. |
