Richard 13415 Elegance Trim Brush with Soft Grip Handle, 5/8"

I work at a large scenic and prop design company. There are many many times that edging is required when painting for large corporate clients. These brushes are excellent instead of having to flip over or constantly dip a conventional flat edging brush, you can just load this with paint and it's almost like a marker. It is very easy to control and get into corners. It almost acts like a mop brush for those of you that are familiar with watercolor brushes. When it dries it doesn't have a bunch of stray hairs. All you have to do to retain it s original shape is dip it in the paint. I bought two sizes of this brush. They helped me immensely with some urgent projects. They are just the right size and since they are round instead of flat? it is easier to go around curved edges. And they do hold a lot of paint so you can use them to paint in areas around where you're working as well. I haven't had a bristle fall out of this yet. And the two or three bristles that did seem to want to curl away and become a problem? I just trimmed off with a small pair of scissors. I plan on ordering more. I currently have the one inch and the 3/4. Some smaller ones would come in extremely handy. The handle is sort of a rubbery grip and slightly flexible so you can really get a good grip on it. It's also helps with cleaning. Because when you're trying to get water out of the bristles you can hit it on the edge of something without worrying about breaking the handle. Plus the slight flexibility gives it sort of a whipping effect that throws out more of a water to help it dry. It really is a lifesaver if you're doing edging. You can literally see what you're doing no matter what angle you hold the brush.

Great trim brush

Taping is the WORST part of any painting job, and half the time the paint bleeds under the tape anyway. This brush is amazing for cutting in to get those clean paint lines without the need for tape.As other reviews mentioned, it doesn't hold a lot of paint, but that really isn't a big deal at all. In addition, my hands are typically shaky, so I was worried that I couldn't be steady enough for the lines I wanted. But this brush is so easy to use and control, that I had no problems controlling the paint line

My wife and I just got done painting the entire inside of our house, and this brush was a lifesaver. Once you get used to it, it cuts down on trim time so much that you find yourself not worrying as much about messing up with the bigger brushes since cleaning up is so easy. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because after a while it does get hard to clean. But that may be an unrealistic desire of mine, since it is still just a paint brush.

I took a chance on this brush because I honestly did not think it would work any better on trim than some of the other brushes I have used. I could not have been more wrong. It is amazing. I normally have to paint the trim, touch up the walls where I painted "outside of the lines," then touch up the trim again. Not with this brush. It is sturdy yet flexible. There are no brush stroke lines and its shape allows you to paint deep on trim where there is carpet on a floor. If all Richard's brushes are as perfect as this trim brush, it would behoove me to purchase the entire fleet of its brushes. Seriously - it took me no less than a third of the time to paint trim with this brush - it is just that easy. It holds the paint well but not too much, it glides along the trim, and picking up any excess does not make a mess of what you have just painted. Cleans up fine - because of its quality it may take a bit more time but it certainly is not difficult.

I have used this brush to paint cabinets and trim. It’s easier to hold than my other brushes. I’ve had very few bristles come out - maybe one per day of use - I think it’s better at getting into grooves on cabinet doors bevsuse of the shape. I would buy it again and recommend to anyone brave enough to untske painting cabinets.

We just bought our first home and needed to paint basically the whole place. It's a 100 year old home with a lot of wood trim. This little trim brush has helped the painting process so much! I have ditched taping off the trim and just used this brush. It cleans well and has held up so well! 10/10!

After reading the reviews I was excited to get this product and was feeling positive that it would make the painting project so much easier. Unfortunately that didn't happen. I didn't love it. At first I thought it was easier to apply paint to the edges ad then I realized it doesn't cover as well. I was using BM paint and usually don't have a problem with coverage. Although it wasn't the miracle I was hoping for I wouldn't toss it. It's a well made, sturdy brush and I'm thinking I'll give it another try maybe on a different project.

I've been using these brushes for trim and baseboards for a couple years and they do such a good job I don't bother with tape any more. Saves a ton of time and effort.

Works great 😃👍

Super for trimming!

Best brush I’ve ever had. It made the job very easy. Great product.

Did my first project with Fusion and used this brush. No brush strokes! Love it.
