Just a quick comment here, I painted my window trim today and used (again) my crappy Wooster paint brush, for latex general purpose, Wooster Pro brush.

I have two that I have used over the last year plus or minus, and each time I use them, they loose bristles in my work.

These brushes are thee crappiest brushes I have ever used. I had a collection of Purdy's that I used for a quite some time and I don't remember losing a bristle or hair. I wore my Purdy's out, and last year I went to Home Depot to pick up a couple Purdy's and they don't sell um anymore, they sell these crappy Woosters that look good, but when I use them they suck. The finish is fine, keep a wet edge and paint flows pretty good, but having to keep picking bristles out of the paint or having to pull loose ones from the brush while painting gets old really quick.

 

I just went to the Purdy website and looked for dealers, our ACE is supposed to carry them so I guess I'll look em up, only a couple bucks more but worth it.  

My rant of the month. 🙂

These are the equivalent to HF chip brushes.  Yes I use them but not for actual painting.😁

I use the disposable brushes, they don't even lose bristles like these Woosters do.

Guess I've been lucky. Never heard of Wooster brand. Always bought Purdy. Properly cleaned, they last for years of use.

Agreed Al. Had mine for a long time, till the kids got a hold of em.

I remember those days.  Remember finding the hard dried brushes when I needed them.😖
