Best paint brush for low bristle loss

Question

Every time I buy paint brushes they seem to loose a lot of bristles. Do you have any recommendations for a good emulsion brush that doesn't leave bristles in the paintwork?

Good Morning, 

With regards to your question, it’s actually quite a difficult one to answer as there is so many solutions to stop this happening for example the old wives tail of “wash the brush” first can reduce bristle loss ect however a long story short myself personally finds the “PURDY” brushes to be of the best quality next to no bristle loss and a very good brush to use.

David · Answer

i have always used purdie paint brushes the brushes may lose the odd bristle but if you do not use to much pressure when painting and use the tip of the brush when applying paint. Should not have any problem, do not try to rush the job take a slower approach and spread the paint evenly

Synthetic bristles are the best choice for water-based paints such as emulsion, but if you are looking to produce fine high-quality finishes with oil-based paints then natural bristles do a great job.

In my exparience, bristle loss comes down to cheap brusges, mainly brushes with a wooden base, as the paint sits on the base it will swell up, makes it harderd to get a good cutting line and seperates the bristles, so my advice would be to spend good money on brushes and ull see a better finish n less bristle loss
