Along with this set, all zibra brushes I've ever purchased are top tier. As a muralist, I've always found that the brushes I've used were okay, but sub-par if I'm being honest. Projects took longer, paint strokes were rough and not very fluid. Then I heard of Zibra, gave them a shot, and it was the best purchase ever. All of their brushes are an absolute game changer to say the least. Why do they work so much better? Who knows. I do know that I'll never buy paint brushes for my projects from any other brand. Thank you for existing!!! lol
