Those Isabel black sabel brushes in the photos are some of the softest things I've ever used. I use them more often to just brush my face than paint with them. Expensive as all hell though - I think I paid $70 each for mine (compared to a $5 bag of like 50 cheap brushes you can buy from the art store).
