Question Blending brushes?

Does anyone have any tips for me on buying some blending brushes? Lots available out there-does anyone have a preference? Would prefer not too spend a lot, also.TIA for your advice!

Stampin' Up has a set of 3 for $12, I think. They are all the same size but they blend beautifully. I'm hoping they'll come out with some smaller ones to do blending in smaller areas. If not I'll try to find some by another manufacturer.

Anyhow, I just wanted to let you know that SU has them for a really affordable price.

PS they are currently unavailable to order. Between Covid and products coming from China there's quite a few things either on backorder or temporarily turned off until more stock arrives

I bought 2 sets of cheap ones on Amazon from 2 different companies. They all work great, and they are a fraction of the cost of the "name brand" brushes. They are the same exact brushes in some cases.

I have bought brushes from The Stamp Market, Amazon and even found some at Marshall's in their make up section. All are very similar and I don't like any better than the other.

I use different styles depending on what I'm working on - I do like the pointed sash style brushes for a broader, soft blend (Ken Oliver, Clarity Stamps, Tonic and Scrapbook.com have branded sets or you can find them individually on art sites or Amazon).

Great price on the Tonic ones at SSS HERE.

I have some of the cheap toothbrush style ones but have found that not all brands are equal - some are soft and some are very stiff. On Amazon, the Beautia brand has been my favorite.
