Drybrushing can be quite hard on your brushes, so you should consider buying cheaper brushes for this purpose. Flat and soft brushes are good for drybrushing.

I have found that the softer the brush is then the better. I keep 4 brushes used specifically for dry brushing from quite large (3/8) down to a number 3.

I found some good ones at hobby lobby and I refer them as they are flat rounded but the bristles are tapered on the broad sides giving me more coverages and subtler effects.
