Title: Not a painter paint brush
Product review: The build quality feels great when you hold this in you hand. That is until you start painting. Not good for cutting a strait line. While the brush is supposed to be soft, the bristles are actually pretty firm. The softness comes from the length of the bristles which cause the brush to "flip" if too much preasure is applied. Perhaps the biggest problem is the brush is too thin and contributes to the sense of having a "lack of control". I've had Purdy brushes in the past that I have loved (painted professionally for years) but the last two I've purchased have not worked for my skill level (cutting in straight lines without tape). I am going to try to cut the brush down a 1/4 inch to see if that helps. If you a looking for a good 3 inch brush for cutting lines I still use my old but reliable Benjemin Moore brush. I don't work for any of these companies just trying to give a heads up on what used to be the "best" brush in the business.
