I was walking outside the factory a few months ago. I discovered this brushes from this post and was a fantastic discovery.Pablohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04381861613662150139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36501346.post-26566961909867244422012-01-25T17:42:06.439-05:002012-01-25T17:42:06.439-05:00I had no idea your blog was back up and running.

And brick and mortar places have to charge more. The Escodas offer an inexpensive, high quality Kolinsky brush that's consistent enough for me to endorse people buying untested.Comic Toolshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06956709507368856261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36501346.post-86252663007808559372011-12-25T13:30:37.382-05:002011-12-25T13:30:37.382-05:00Where are you buying your W&N #3, because they...Where are you buying your W&N #3, because they are under $17 at Blick?Nixotronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09605191260747139863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36501346.post-30015876217732309812011-12-15T11:40:50.419-05:002011-12-15T11:40:50.419-05:00Oh...I thought that image said "Escape brushe...Oh...I thought that image said "Escape brushes".....<br />I haven't really gotten to try out brush inking all that much myself, but reading about this really makes me want to still!Annihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12509887099730181277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36501346.post-13650969746716927352011-11-26T14:41:58.726-05:002011-11-26T14:41:58.726-05:00Hey I wanted to throw in my 2 cents on brushes. No...Hey I wanted to throw in my 2 cents on brushes. Now I have a Raphael 8404 #2, Escoda 1214 #4 travel, Da Vinci series 35 in #2 & #4, and finally a Isabey 6227z #5. Now the hands down winner is....the Isabey. Yes the Isabey and Raphael are made in the same factory but here is the difference the Isabey is only made by the master brush makers in that factory. Plus they use the best hairs first before Raphael and is more densely packed. It has a mind blowing snap and reminds me of a W&N of yesteryear. The reason I have it in a #5 is because they tend to run small but even at that size I can still draw lines as thin as my .18 rapidograph all the way up to probably 2mm. My only complaint is that it is a damn exspensive brush and also I wish the handle was more substantial. Other then that my 2nd go to brush is the #4 Da Vinci and then the Raphael. So my point being is that if the Raphael didn't live up to the hype or your expectations go ahead and try a Isabey. Other then that yes I have to agree that Escoda does make a damn fine brush for the money but I just don't have that much inking time to formulate a good opinion about it.crewchief227https://www.blogger.com/profile/03853401940649992935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36501346.post-6429640922636873402011-11-23T05:13:50.742-05:002011-11-23T05:13:50.742-05:00Hey I have that inkwell, it rocks!
