Citadel - X-Small Artificer Layer Penseel

Honestly, the plastic tube alone is a lifesaver for keeping the tip perfect in my travel case. The sable hair holds a sharp point and lays down paint so smoothly that my edge highlights have never looked cleaner.

The sable hairs pick up exactly the right amount of paint and lay it down in a clean, controlled line every time—no splitting or splaying even after a few washes. The little plastic tube is a nice touch too, keeps the tip safe when it's rattling around in my case.

The bristles hold their shape perfectly even after several washes, which makes fine detail work so much less frustrating. That little plastic tube is actually useful for keeping the tip protected when it's tossed in my case.
