Langnickel Nocturna Brushes...
Just wondering if anyone besides myself have used and like the Langnickel Nocturna brushes. When they first came out, sometime before Langnickel closed up, A freind told me to try them and that I would like them. I bought a few and have them to this day and they have lost very few if any hairs after very many hours of use. They keep thier snap and work great for me. Anyway, I contacted a supplier I used to go through years ago where I used to live and they have an ample supply of them still. I just ordered quite a few and am excited. They have thier regular lettering quills, Thier script series brushes ( used for striping details and small fancy scroll work), thier long stoke ( long hair flat), water size brushes and more. Lots of sizes to chose from. Maybe you've never used them or you have and did'nt like them, I don't know. I was hooked from the first use myself. Just wondering your thoughts on the nocturna.

These brushes I'm talking about are the old ones found in the basement by one of the employees, that's why I was happy to be able to aquire them. I was'nt aware that mac was offering quality lettering quills though. I'll definatly give them a try as well. I never did like macs striping brushes though but it has been quite a few years since I have tried them. I kind of got hooked on the langnickels stripers with the longer handle. I never did develope the feel for those short handles. I still have many langnickle striping brushes and they are still holding up great. I take care for my brushes very carefully. Thanks for the info on the macs.
