"But this is the case with Winsor & Newton 7 series brushes. They are the best available paint brushes on the planet. Maybe even in this galaxy. When we get serious about this hobby, we want to improve our skills, and we learn (sometimes the hard way) that everything that is the best at something is the most expensive. This is the case with electronics, cars (Can you say Rolls-Royce is not the most refined vehicle in the world ?), fragrances (Hey Tom Ford !), clothing, and so on.

I love my W&N Series 7 brushes but in spite of using the same recommended care as in this article, I personally have not been able to keep the brush tip perfect past 5 years.
