Recently branched out and bought a few different brands of brushes for a side by side test. I've used the big brand name sold at Lowes and other big box stores. I've tried a few others as well based on internet reviews. I just tried my new Zachary's last weekend. I used the 2" Royal to do some trim and cutting in. I was immediately questioning my own sanity. "Is this brush really this good? Or am I just hallucinating?" When I went to clean the brush it became clear to me. IT IS THAT GOOD! It is the thickest brush that I've ever used. I was layin' paint on like a pro. I've already told a few of my buds about your fine brushes. Nice brushes! Well done!
