BR12. Rekab #5. Actual size.
John Stevens uses these round ferrule, chisel-edge Rekab
brushes for smaller Roman lettering as well as for a variety
of other styles. John uses these along with flat ferrule chisel
edged brushes for his brush lettering. These quality sable
brushes, imported from Israel, with proper care will last
for 20 years or more. These are called “Showcard” or “One
Stroke Brushes.” They are more versatile than flat ferrule,
chisel edge brushes, but take a bit more skill to use. John
recommends the #5 to start with. For a wider range of sizes,
he suggests adding the #3 & #7.
