Usually I will paint with any available brush at the cheapest cost known to mankind.  But there are times that I have IBS.  also known as irritable-brush-syndrome.  My therapist has designated this term for the times that I paint on the ceiling by mistake, or the paint drips onto the carpet, or when my wrist cramps from cutting in around the doors.  I mean, seriously, why do we have a need for bathroom doors?!?!  It’s not like we haven’t seen it come out green before.

I get irritated with brushes that bubble or don’t clean up or the bristles look closely similar to Chewbacca.  That is why I use Purdy brand paintbrushes.  Sure, they cost a little more than your average paint brush from Lowe’s…but sometimes, SOMETIMES, $5 can save you the cost of an entire roll of papertowels, a jug of paint thinner and one bottle of extra strength excedrin.  As well as the frustration of painting a room all over again.  And saving your husband from that headache…well, that makes you priceless.  

I have been a Purdy brand user to combat my IBS symptoms for over a year now – and they clean up real nice.
