I have been using mop brushes of various makers and didn't see much difference in quality: Raphaël 803; Isabey 6234; Da Vinci and surprisingly good Biaelk from AliExpress. They all are made of squirrel hair, all are round and able of pretty good washes and have nice point - not like Series 7 Kolinsky but decent. When in April I forgot my Sennelier tin with Isabey No 4 at my friends' place in Yorkshire I decided to buy a medium inexpensive mop brush at my nearest art shop for the time being. First, the size of the Gerstaecker brush (printed letters were JAX) was bigger: No 3 was similar to Izabey No 4. One of the wires was a little loose. Generally that brush looked like a normal mop brush of good makers. The surprise expected me when I tried it. I really didn't expect such quality. May be it was like a lottery and I was the lucky one. The hair was thinner and softer and the shape was much more precise, than anything I had tried before. There was no single hair aside and no double point. The point gave me a perfectly fine line. I guess that the Gerstaecker mop brushes are relatively cheap because probably the source factory cannot guarantee such quality to every single brush. My advice to Londoners: choose meticulously at the shop. :)

Hmm...take care - The mop brush that was delivered wasn't this make (I didn't immediately notice) and snapped early in use. This may be a simple mistake but I've asked for clarification.
