My new Purdy Pro Elasco 2.5. I was picking up some paint and saw this hanging on the rack. I have a 3" Elasco and really like it; so the Pro 2.5 has to be as good or better only slimmer.

I have used this brush for the past 6 painting days. Awesome. I happen upon a brush every so often that I like using so much I go in search of stuff to paint. I like it that much. I even bought the other two in the shop. My last brush like this was a Purdy Pip. I had theis brush store owner get me a 2.5" and 3" Pro Pips.

I really like this brush

I manage to use my 3" for just about everything these days. I might get out a 2.5" once or twice a year. When I was a newbie I used to get made fun of when using a 2.5", so in a way it 'taught' me to use a bigger brush on just about most things and get the same result.

Been using a purdy xl pip 3" for years. Nowadays, it's the opposite. I get funny looks and even some comments. Even the old timers ask what I'm going to do with that thing? Sometimes they even get defensive, and take that super professional pose while using their 2 1/2 "ers. I just love a brand new xl pip, round shoulder.

They do wear down fast, but they hold so much paint, it don't matter for a while.
