Lettering Brushes?
I got some really great Handover Red Sable Quills from Rick. So it's been a long time since I've bought any brushes. Where are you buying brushes and what are you buying? For the most part I'm looking for some Rafael's or equal quality or better. Any help would be appreciated.

Look up Lazer Lines.com He has Raphaels and also when he buys his brushes he keeps the good ones to sell and sends the rest back. I have never bought from him, but that is what folks say about him.
I have almost a lifetime stock of old French Masters for myself, and a whole bunch of Mack grey quills that aren't too bad. Actually my 18 Mack Brown is really nice and great for 1" outlines. I also picked up a bunch of Grumbacher GreySpeeds a couple years ago.
My favorite sable is the LUCO 6999, I have 3 and they are bullet proof! Love them, can't find them anymore and quite expensive too.
Good luck.
