The felt tip brush pen I like best:

This is the ink I put in my brush pens

And the traditional sable hair brushes I use.  The windsor newton is the most expensive, and the others are a bit more affordable.

This brush is one of my faves, it’s a fantastic price and a great tool, perfect for trying out brush inking without putting too much cash down.

I’ve noticed that a lot of kolinsky sable hair brushes are out of stock online, I’m pretty some importing issue is happening between countries.  Raphael might be people’s best bet for brushes then.
