The Rosemary 'Shiraz' brushes are great for drybrushing. Not inexpensive but they last a long time if taken care of.

I also agree with Wesfalia.
Life of my brushes:=
For painting;
For dry brushing & then
Brush head becomes an alien bush while the haft becomes a stirrer or shaped tool (recently one was used to impress an overlapping scale design on a miliputted bit of horse armour).

I use drybrushing on all of my bases.  I use cheap, flat synthetic brushes for this.  The same type I use for varnishing.  

New brush is cleaned and dried ready for use as a varnishing brush.  Once it begins to deteriorate it is relegated to drybrushing.

What I wrote four years ago still applies.   ::)
