Never mind! Don't listen to my earlier review! One of the brushes is super wet all the time but that has its own charm, these brushes do lose a few bristles to begin with but nothing that harms the brush quality, I CAN say that I've been using other brushes for a while and this is the first time using a quality brush approved by Henry, I can't really describe the way these brushes bring some kind of magic to the paper that other brushes have/could not, there is a huge difference in my art since getting these! It's amazing! Plus if one gets "broken" then it's just a brush, and that's not too bad! 7 for 30$ is a great deal and it would be for just normal brushes too, some weird things may happen as small differences I. The brushes or possible malfunctions are possible but it's very possible to work with the properties of the brush to your advantage
