I was looking at one of these craft stores, and they had what they call a filbert brush in various sizes, and at looking at them they seem to look just like the the ones that Micro Mark is selling for special dry brushing brushes, does anybody happen to have both to know if they are the same or I'm seeing wrong? I thank you for your input. Straightedge

Hi Straightedge, I searched around the web and looked at the brushes and all seem to have the rounded tip.I personally have never tried that type of brush for drybrushing and by no means am an expert. From my point of view I would prefer the flat edge brushes I use. Hopefully we can get some more input for you here. Anyone else?

Hey straighedge......

I have one of these Micro Mark drybrushing brushes and they are definatly different from a filbert brush as they have more of a taper from the wider side...if you know what I mean by that. Now thats not saying that you couldn't use a filbert brush for for drybrushing, but they are a different brush.
