nice and balanced message here - for much of the video I was like "are they going to talk about the way synthetic tips always curl?". And then you did. These look great!

Can't wait to get my synthetic brushes, I already have some raphael kolinsky brushes but no decent synthetics, love your videos guys and Sweden is one of my favourite countries I've visited a few places there.

I wish I could find a new manufacturer of the short ferrule close handle sables Warcolors used to sell. They are an absolute joy to work with. We are always so choked up on the ferrule to have control, it only makes sense for miniature painting brushes to have shorter ferrules so that the handle is closer to the hair.

I bought myself synthetic kolinsky brushes from Kreatima (Panduro's brand, which is a hobby-chain in Norway and Sweden), and they're so much better than other regular synthetics. I can do fine work with even a size 4. 😮 Now I have a greater yearning for more brushes of kolinsky, synthetic or natural!
