Always trust Raphael
They come with fine points, never had to fix a brush! Excellent for painting miniatures and the hobby in general. As long as you use brush soap after a session, they hold up for years.

Perfect for fine detail
Kolinsky sable brushes are the best thing out there and Raphael are among the best of the best.Having used cheap brushes for most of my life I splashed out on a few sable ones and they are fantastic, they hold the paint, they hold their point, but they do take a bit of looking after, always clean after use, don't use for metallics or contrast paints.The 3/0 is very small and holds it's point so probably won't get a lot of use if you are using a 1 or 2 sable brush with a good point but is nice to have in your arsenal for those times you do need it.

Great paintbrush, needs a bristle protector.
Brilliant paintbrush for miniature painters, only slight qualm is that it didn't come with a tube to protect the bristles while in transport, otherwise I'd have given it 5*.

The best
Excellent paint brush, Raphael 8404 is the king of paint brushes. Excellent 'snap', retains shape well, good body, just the best of the best.

Really great brush- these are the only ones I use for inking nowadays since nothing else seems to be able to hold a decent point!

Initially fantastic, but quality dropped away quickly
When this brush arrived I was very pleased with the quality. Fantastic point, and it held a great amount of paint for the size (3/0). However, after three weeks of use the brush degraded in quality, and it is now all but unusable. This is despite using brush cleaner and restorer. I'd recommend for light use, but find a cheaper alternative as a regular use brush.
