They are nice brushes, very reasonably priced and her service is exemplary.  Definitely superior to the other hobby sable brushes I have used but I found their sable brushes didn't hold their shape and point as well as the W&N Series 7 sable.

They are all I have used professionally for 4 years now.

SUPERB

I have bought 60 in that time and 38 are still untouched... And I paint approx 2400 hours per year = 436 hours per brush.

After reading this I said I would try Rosemary's brushes when I needed to replace mine. I ordered yesterday and they arrived today; excellent service.

I've said it before I prefer the Rosemary & Co Red Sable Blend or series 401 with the long handle.

I will also add that the service is superb.

 :) I have to echo most of what is above. I have converted entirely to her product.
Excellent customer service, cannot be beaten.

My painting has improved substantialy since I began using these. I had used W&N before but found them awkward. I may have got a bad batch. However, this put me off them. I have had one poor R&Co brush which she replaced immediately when I mentioned it.
Top notch!

Series 401 is what I picked up. Hopefully trying them out tonight (what with LPL deadlines approaching!).

I like them too. Series 33 & 92 for me.
I would also like to add they they are not really that expensive either, much cheaper than a lot of other makes of sable brush.

The 401s are the best because you get loading and spring back along with the ability to hot water re-shape the bristles.

I have just received an order of Rosemary Series 33 brushes - the order was placed on Thursday afternoon 4th December and they were delivered to my door on Tuesday morning 9th December - less than 5 days start to finish from the UK to Canada  8) :) 8)

I initially did have an issue with their postage as was working out at 3 times the calculation the Royal Mail site came up with so I contacted them about it and they replied that there was a glitch in their system which had now been corrected. It was very close to the value quoted by the RM site so my order was placed.

I was just thinking about brushes...

Perhaps I'll get some of these, or maybe some good old GW ones?
