Black Swan

[Boguz]

Looking for opinions on the Black Swan line of synthetic brushes that are touted as being an great alternative to sable. Has anyone tried these? Are they just as good as W&N S.7's?

I just purchased Kaerell from Raphael... I didn't get them yet, but as soon as I do I will update CMON forum about them. I am used to paint with Raphael 8404 and W&N Serie 7.
I got from a friend working in one of the biggest French art supply online store, she told me that they will stop selling Sable Kolinsky brush. She could not tell me if it was a shop decision or a potential European ban, I could not find any article about it... So time will say...
