Product Information

Any ‘best paint brush’ list is incomplete without the mention of Purdy so it’s no surprise that the Purdy XL Elite has claimed a permanent place in my toolbox for the times I need to cut in. Fineness of the tip – The finer the tip of your brush, the sharper the lines you can achieve. It’s that simple. Best Cutting-in Paint Brushes 1. Purdy XL Elite To sum up, the Purdy XL Elite is a superb cutting in brush, striking a perfect balance between price, performance, and durability. Once broken in, I genuinely believe there’s no better cutting in brush out there. It might have a few minor issues, but they’re far outweighed by its positives. 2. Prodec Ice Fusion

Now let’s chat about the Arroworthy Finultra which is a very solid brush. Using it is a breeze and cutting in almost feels like it’s doing the work for you. Furthermore, this brush holds plenty of paint and delivers razor-sharp lines, all while being comfortable to hold.

The best paint brushes to buy

When it comes to cutting in above skirting boards, the Finultra is one of the best brushes for the job as it leaves such a neat finish. I’ve honestly been so impressed that I’m planning to get a few more. In terms of comfort, the Purdy XL Elite scores highly. Its ergonomic design ensures extended use doesn’t result in aching hands. Durability – Durability is, of course, an important consideration before buying a cutting-in brush. You’ll want something that keeps its shape after multiple washes and doesn’t lose bristles over time. Cleaning the Prodec Ice Fusion brushes is a breeze, as they don’t tend to clog up. This is a considerable advantage for those who like to maintain their brushes for the long run.

With that being said, it does have some downsides. For example, the Finultra can go a bit stiff after a while, even if you’re really careful with it. But for its price and how well it cuts in, it’s not the end of the world. The Axus Décor 1.5in Precision Angled Cutter Brush has been designed with this specific task in mind. Featuring a blend of synthetic filaments, tapered for releasing paint evenly onto the surface, the angled taper of the brush is what makes it ideal for finer detail, keeping the paint on the wall where it belongs and not making a mess of anything it shouldn’t. In terms of price, the Ice Fusion brushes are half the cost of some of their competitors, like Purdy, and they deliver just as superior a performance. They work well with all kinds of paint and are particularly effective in delivering smooth finishes with oils.
