Brushes and Brushes and more Brushes...

I know most of us use the Gold handled L-Cornell brushes...has anyone heard they are gonna be discontinued??? Has anyone bought the Elusive Paradise Brush set? I love my Chisel brush and was wondering if anyone uses Paradise Brushes...I really like the acrylic handles. Does anyone use the Soft Grip Acrylic Handle brushes....I have all kinds of brushes and frankly want to pick a few I like....I have Majestic, Paradise, Loew-Cornell and the La Corneil (not sure if thats right spelling) I love my One Stroke flats( did they get cheaper made the new ones just don't seem as good)...ahhh what's your thoughts?

I have had several of Donna Dewberry's One Stroke brushes' handles pull right out of the ferrule... and that was when I was using them for regular painting, not face painting.

I can only hope the gold-handled are NOT being discontinued. What is the source of this rumor? That would devastate me! Still haven't found a one stroke brush I love.
