To Paint or Swirl?

[Drubbing]

Mashing brushes is plain stupidity or best left to cheap brushes. Swirling is hardly the same thing. I treat my stuff like decent tools, and they work as intended. I'm not going to baby products that come with a price tag in case they can't do what they're built for. That's perverse.

Their recommendations are shared by a fair few other brush maker and reflect common sense. I also see them as a reasonable attempt reduce the cost to their business due to inexperience, 1000's of fuckwit's from B&B notwithstanding.

Many idiots mash and ream their badger brushes almost flat onto their faces (almost covering their cheeks) in a manner not dissimilar to the way they would a synth or 14mm/16mm boar.

Some so much so that it appears that they are actually scraping soap from the tub with the base of the handle.
