The 187se is hands-down the brush I go to the most in this set. It is unbelievably soft but it did bleed black dye quite a bit during the first few washings. I don't use the 190se that much since...

Oooo, this just came in the mail. Really nice set, I bought it mainly for the 187SE since I only like the short handled brushes. The full sized 187 is around $42 I think so this was a great deal...
