I am more the Escoda kind of painter but I think I will buy the titanium brushes to try out, they seem to be great for my kind of work.

They are simply the best brushes. I own a filbert (some of my first oil brushes) over 14 years ago and the hairs are stained but retains shape.
You simply can't do better than the Signet hog hair for oil. I just bought a titanium to see how they compare to the Signet.

Stunning! I do wish I could buy them all! I also noticed instructions with them which is an excellent idea. As an artist of only a few months, it's such a waste of money to buy different types when you don't yet know what you're doing. I bought a set of brushes just a few weeks ago & it showed the effects of each brush which in itself sold them to me. Best of luck with these stunning brushes, I wish you every success!

And about canvas , what is the best brand of canvas ? I buy mines in chinese shops, are in pure 100% cotton in many sizes and are very cheaps, very economique prices.

@YoBootyStinks They call it synthetic sable because it was made to mimic the properties of natural sable hair.

People ar going to think I'm being paid to say this, but signet brushes are *among* the best hog brushes I've ever used. The only brands I know that match them are:
Silver Grand Prix
Blick masterstroke
Utrecth
Grumbacher Degas series (alas no longer made -if anyone's got some old ones in good condition I want to buy them from you).
