I have some thirty year old natural boar bristle filberts that I still use even though they are pretty ratted out. They were made by a French company and were seriously pricey ($30. a brush in the 80's) They are not made any more. The handle of the brushes are so painted over I could not tell you what the name was. They were my favorite.

I use tons of the Blick wonder whites also... for the same reason.

Really enjoying your recent work, especially the Gray scale trees and buildings. Good stuff.
