I got the brushes I ordered from Rosemary and Co. today. I am going to use them over the weekend to paint a contest miniature and finish up a Space Marine squad. When I get a new camera I will post pics here. I will say this, at first glance they sure look good. Those points look as fine as I have seen.
Got my brushes! Review upcoming...

Got mine this morning :bouncy: so I\'m looking forward to finding some time to paint tonight. Must say I was very impressed by the little \"thank you\" note that was included with the delivery, felt that was a nice touch. I\'ve already recommended them to a friend just because of that... they\'d better be good brushes now!

Managed an hour of painting time last night with the new brushes and have to say I\'m very impressed. Considering they were about the same price as \"brand x\", they just handled so much better and I felt a lot more confident using them. All of a sudden the paint started going where I wanted it to for a change lol

I went for Rosemary&Co Series 33 Pointed Kolinsky sizes 2, 1, 0 and 2/0. They\'re nice :yes:
Well, mine arrived today, a 0 and a 1. After a quick session with them, I\'d say the Rosemary & Co brushes are a notch above DaVinci Maestro brushes, and a hell of a lot cheaper too.
They are longer and thinner than the same-size Series 7s. They hold a bit less paint, which I prefer, but also seem to have less \'snap\'. I\'m impressed enough to recommend Rosemary\'s brushes as a much less costly alternative to the Series 7\'s, but not enough for them to replace my Series 7\'s.
The other brushes, some Chungking bristle and mongoose brushes are absolutely beautiful, though. The mongoose fan blender is the nicest fan I\'ve ever seen - it\'s thick and full. I\'m positive my sister-in-law will love it.

I was looking at the photos of the brush head and it looks like they don\'t have the normal ferrual. Are there any issues about the hair falling out or the ferrual coming undone?

she can custom make brushes if you want a particular type

Great pic of the brushes. Though it\'s back to making my decision harder. ???
Based on what I see there I\'d say I like the Series 7 size 0 better but I\'d like the Rosemary\'s size 1 better.
Her size 0\'s tip seems a touch long but you did mention some superior snap to the bristles which I suspect could make up for the weaker looking tip.
If only I lived in the UK, I\'d drive up to her spot and take a direct gander at them. The biggest advantage to the Series 7 is I can go to the store, pick up the specific brush I intend to buy, lick the bristles to test em (yes, I stick the dang thing in my mouth before purchasing) and take the one I want.
