I have not tried their kolinsky sable. Good sable brushes really are the best. The few I have are from Winsor & Newton Series 7 - superb. 1/

I know sable is preferred, but I've tried over last several yrs to avoid (mostly) natural fiber & tried the synthetic. It's so different, much stiffer & carries less water. But for synthetic, I do love the Escoda Perla 2/

Even synthetic Escoda can make my credit card whimper, so I appreciate both the joy & pain you and your wife experience with sable ones 😄 But life is short and good brushes should be enjoyed! Thanks again for your encouraging comments 3/3

You've reignited my desire for a W&N series 7 again. Charles Reid used to swear by them and if they're good enough for him.... 😀
