Dear Annette,

I don't suggest you use soap and water on your cat tongues (unless they are synthetic, which I gather they're not).

Yes, even though Shanks uses Silver Renaissance cat tongues and I've used them, and probably recommended them to you, I now like the Rekab 600 Series better, numbers 4, 6, and 8. The number 6 is an exquisite cat's tongue sable filbert that performs beautifully and holds up extremely well, is also less expensive than the Renaissance. I mostly use several 6's. Best price/availability: The Italian Art Store, (800) 643-6440. By the way, with these you won't have to worry about maintaining the point. Just rinse thoroughly in Gamsol and very gingerly squeeze the paint out with your thumb and index finger several times as you dip the brush.
