think i'll order the other one then as im not bothered about 5grams.

I now use Xtreme soft blue & black bristles and have for about 6 months great all round brush and now find it way better than medium mixed brushes . Mike

brush on the market.
The soft is a good enough brush but doesn't last long enough I got just under 3 months out of my last one.
