Thanks for all the feedback guys its actually been really
helpful. The consensus across my blog, the FB groups and a few forums seems to
be that if you use Kolinsky sable brushes then you can’t go wrong, no matter
the make. With that in mind though three brands seem to have jumped out as
runaway leaders, they are:
Raphael Brushes
Windsor and Newton Series 7
Rosemary and Co
I have looked in to all of these and actually found a local
store that stocks Windsor’s and Rosemary’s, getting to hold them helped and I did
prefer the rosemary’s over the Windsor’s, but barely. Unfortunately though I didn’t
buy at the store, let’s just say it knows it has an audience of a certain age
and they milk them. So I can home last night and did some surfing for various
brushes, as nice as the Windsor’s were the fact I could get the Rosemary’s
direct from the company for less than £3 per brush as opposed at least double
for the Windsor’s was a bit of a game changer. So last night I placed an order
for a set ranging from 000 through to 3, I know I’m erring to the cheaper ones
but I think some decent brushes (even in sizes ill never use) will make a big
difference. So there we have it I’ve spent £25 on some awesome seeming brushes
and now to see what they do. Once they are here ill get some use in and
hopefully some reviews of them and the company.
Once again thanks for your help and advice, much
appreciated.
