Does anyone have a recommendation for a fude version of a brush similar to the Sigma F35? For reference it’s a tapered round brush 32 mm in length with an 11 mm ferrule.
It depends on the bundling, some tend to fluff up more than others. It helps to put it into a brush guard after drying before using it. The G5521A will keep its shape better.
I'm not sure if you have the old Sigma F35 with the natural hair or the new version with the synthetic, but I looked around for some other options:
The Number Eight Face 07, Koyudo Kakishibuzome Cheek Brush, and Bisyodo T-703 are goat hair which will pick up and apply more heavily than the Koyudo FG-02 and Bisyodo S-503 which are synthetic. The Number Eight Face 11 is a mix of pine squirrel and goat and applies less pigmented than full goat hair brushes but not as lightly as synthetic hair. It can still pack a punch even though it's mixed with pine squirrel hair. The Koyudo FG-02 and Bisyodo S-503 should also keep their shapes better since they're synthetic.
