My Omega pro 49 ,taken time to break in but it is proving to be an excellent performer.
Rudy does marvelous work, and his faux ivory material is my favorite of any ivory I've seen. I have a Muehle STF in a PJ/Emillion handle that is simply stunning.I could probably pick any of my 30+ brushes and be happy with it for the rest of my life.
But, if there can be only one:
Rudy Vey Faux Ivory Persian Jar with Manchurian knot.

if you were just to have one brush, what would you choose, regardless of price wether you already own it or not, if you were just allowed oneAre these out of brushes I already own? Ones I've tried? Are we taking cost into account if it's not a brush we already own? Would it literally be just a single brush or could we keep buying new brushes of whatever model we choose then they get worn out? Makes me crazy. Context is everything, man.
Furthermore, If by last brush you mean if it were the last brush I could ever have I'd choose a synth because they don't shed, are durable enough to last a long time and they can survive frequent use without drying better than a natural hair. Know what I mean? So, in this instance for these reasons, I'd choose a synthetic for practical reasons. Perhaps a Simpson T1
If you mean which of my brushes do I enjoy the most it'd be a different answer. 10077 Omega, in this case if I have to choose from brushes I own right now. Love that thing.
