I find these split less easily than Windsor Newton Series 7 brushes so they can be used through most of a session without having to stop and take care of them.

I've been painting models and miniatures off and on for years, like since the mid or late 80s back when Testors was the only thing on the market. As my last brushes started wearing out I decided to finally take the plunge and spring for an expensive brush set. Da Vinci was recommended as one of the best for painters like me. When you spend this much coin on a product for a hobby that brings you joy, you're generally pretty excited to try things out, so I was rather disappointed to discover that the size 0 was packed in such a way that a couple of bristles were bent back. Not the end of the world, so I gave it a try and the bristles simply didn't hold shape at all. Even treating it with hair conditioner didn't help it hold its shape. Given it was going to be my new workhorse, was a horrible disappointment. Now, the size 5/0 and size 4? They're great. The size 5/0 is my go to for detail work at the moment. I recognize that my situation may be a one off. Still, only getting two genuinely serviceable brushes in a pack of three made this a pretty poor buy and worth only 3 stars.
