I was really impressed wit this brush. I typically have used cheap craft store nylon brushes, and a few high-end sable brushes. I decided to see if the Vallejo brushes were a "happy medium" of the two. And it definitely was! The brush acts much more like the sable brush, but seems to be much more durable. It's made me realize I can rely on good nylon brushes for more than just the basics. You can't go wrong buying Vallejo. Highly recommended!
