Purdy XL Glide, 2 in.

I love this XL Elite line. It cuts in and do detail stuff way better than their Clearcut and pushes paint better than the XL, plus its easier to clean and more durable. Its a good blend if you don't want to go full Chinex but want to keep most of its performance, esp with how thick paint are these days, it feels like the XL Elite makes the perfect all around brush.

Purdy makes the best angled sash brushes out there. Even a complete amateur like me can load up the bristles and apply a smooth line of trim. This brush checks all the boxes for quality, value, and function. Yes, professionals recommend it and people out to spend a few quid to paint their own houses can make it look like a professional came by to help with ease. GOOD: Brilliant design makes this a brush among brushes. The handle is long enough for comfort and reaching fiddly spots between window trim and a corner where you have to perform acrobatic contortions to otherwise fit. You aren't forced to strap a foot of wood to your wrist like a bizarre splint or flail around like a kid playing at conducting a symphony. Paint goes on and stays on. I've used semi-gloss trim paint, satin and eggshell by Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore. Their formulations help reduce streaks, but it's really the brush that works the magic. It spreads paint out evenly and allows for delicate applications without clumping up or dripping. The length and size allow for control without covering only a narrow strip of space. It's an all-around great product. BAD: The bristles retain paint so well that it takes considerably more effort to clean the paint out. A small quibble but an important thing to note. You'll need more elbow grease, but the results are worth it.

Favorite brush ever.

Best brush I've purchased in a while. Works very well.

This brush holds the paint, offers smooth distribution, and clean up is easy as long as you immediately soak it in water. I like this particular brush better than other brands I have tried. I used it to paint semi gloss on baseboards and crown molding. By the way, it does show brush strokes even though I used the paint recommended by the experts that is supposed to leave no brush marks when using this particular paintbrush. The visible brushstrokes at the price I paid for the brush kept it from a 5 star review. It doesn't bother me enough to replace the baseboard and start over, but if you don't like brush strokes, then opt for another delivery method to get the paint onto your painting surface.

Perfect

Used this brush to stain my deck and it made the job much easier. The bristles held a good amount of stain without dripping and spread it evenly for a smooth finish. It stayed firm throughout the project and didn’t lose bristles like cheaper brushes I’ve used before. It was also easy to clean afterward. If you’re staining a deck, fence, or other outdoor wood project, this brush is definitely worth buying. That sounds authentic, explains how you used it, and highlights specific details that other shoppers will find helpful.

I recently started painting my house, and I have been loving this product!

Painting is so much easier with this brush. With this brush anyone can paint. Its worth the price & you will see where the money went!

As expected

These are premium brushes the angle made easy work cutting in between stair carpet and stair, I masked with basic tape, let it dry after painting primer and satin top coat. Brush allowed a small overlap then break seal after fully dry to strip masking - perfect.

Je travaille avec cette marque de Brosses depuis des années. Force est de constater que les viroles cuivrées ne tiennent pas et rouille très rapidement ce qui auparavant n’était pas le cas avec les viroles zingués

I didn't think a short handled brush would make such a difference in the feel of the painting action. The control on cutting-in is great, it's such a comfortable brush to use. Plus, for what the brush was purchased for, painting underneath and the tops of tight shelving. Another great brush from Purdy. The Cub is now my preferred go to brush.
