Anyone tried this brush? Bought a case to try out on the way home from work. Hope it's decent.

I guess a better way to ask the question would be to ask Anyone tried this brush for blank? That brush excels in some areas and poor in others. Depends on what you need THAT brush for. I do primarily all fine finish painting where there needs to be no trace a brush was used so that brush is not recommend for that due to its tipping design. Brush does excel over textured surfaces because of its tip design.

I like Jack Pauhl pictures!!! ;) Old Picasso vs New Wooster. Same pictures like Behr Paint vs Ben. Be a pro man!!!! I thought this forum is for pro painters not just for some hilly billy marketing/photo enthusians! Keep your made-up pics to yourself Pauhl! Thanks! Good brush is a good brush. I can use ****ty brush and "good" brush with same results, it may take just little "get use to it", but I look for price too. Please do not make any advr on this forum as I know it is not within rules. Thank you!

I bought a 3" and a 2.5" sash when they were first released....I liked the 3" on long straight runs but not cutting into corners. Even with production (multifamily/apartment) work, mine never seemed to 'loosen up' and so I went back to the Wooster Firm 3". However, I did come to love the Wooster firm 2.5" also (non sash).

They went out of production at least locally and I had a box shipped to the local paint store, I liked them so much lol.
