3 Reasons Why This is My Favorite Paint Brush Ever

Hi, I'm Jeremy Vassar. I've been painting homes for over 20 years, and I want to help you with your painting projects. My brother Josh and I work together to make painting easy for DIYers and homeowners like you.

I've painted everything—from small rooms to entire houses—and I've tested tons of different products. On this channel, I'll show you all my tips, tricks, and honest reviews.

I know anyone can say anything online, so here’s my story to help you see what I can do.

Jeremy Vassar's Painting Journey
Age 15-21: I started painting schools in the summers with my brother Josh. This is where I learned the basics.
Age 21: I graduated from Temple University and started painting full-time with Josh.
Age 21-27: I worked up to 60 hours a week, painting high-end homes and a large retirement community—up to 60 units a year.
Age 24: Josh and I became co-owners of Handyworks Painting LLC, making our painting business official.
Age 24 (also): We started working with Danken, a company that does kitchens and baths. We still work with them today.
Age 25: We began working with Gemmi Construction, a high-end company. We still work with them too.
Age 28: I learned how to stain wood like newel posts, handrails, and steps
Age 28-38: I kept getting better, learned to work faster, and delivered even better results. We were also able to charge more for our work because of the quality.
Age 34: I started this YouTube channel to help DIYers and homeowners with painting projects.
Age 38: I launched "Paint Your Home Now," a community to help people paint their homes quickly and easily.

Fortunately i purchased both the cortez and the vegas brush per your recommendation. I couldn't be happier! They are both excellent brushes.

Picked up a few ot the brushes you recommended and you were right; an amazing brush; thanks

2-1/2" angled Purdy is my favorite, but I'll have to try these next time I need a new one... which is rare since a good brush will last. I also have a 1" angled for trim work.

The Cortez is awesome. I have a three inch but I’ll need to try the two and a half inch. I’m a DIYer and I just happened to buy the Cortez about 4 years ago at my local Benjamin Moore retailer when I was picking up some Regal Select. I still use the same brush. I bought Corona’s Delta brush recently and didn’t like it at all. I went back to the Cortez after cutting in one wall with the Delta.

Curious to hear the difference between this and the Vegas. I just bought a 2" and a 2.5" Vegas based off your recommendations for trim

are these good for rough textured cutting in for ceiling

My favorite brushes are made by Nour in Vietnam. They used to be sold in Canada under Home Hardware premium line. I have also seen tham at Home Depot sold as Nour. I cut in my entire interior without loosing a single bristle and the brush still functions like new.

What are your thoughts regarding the 3" cortez sash? Thank you

[seankelly]

The Cortez has been my go to for a while now. I just picked up a 3" Excalibur and I can't wait to try it.

[acropolisnow]

Best brush manufacturer by miles. They are very expensive in England however.

[TheGruszi]

Corona one of the best brushes. I prefer excalibur for cuting in bacouse it chinex bristles. It given Sharpest line and stay stiff all time.

[rhondam]

Just me... patiently waiting to hear the best brush.

[jackjax]

I find the stock to be far too thin-the brush needs to fan out more IMO.

[jackwardley]

can't see this lasting in solvent paints long

[cecilcox]

Should review Richard brushes, corona are so over priced

[Usonian]

But do you have affiliation with your T-shirt 😂

[edwinmercado]

Corona has gone way down in quality bro. The purdy blue bristle is the best brush in the world period. Corona way too soft, not a fast brush at all.

[ShonBaka]

Alright, 95% of painting is done with large and small, non beveled rollers...brushes are used only for 5% of work, pros know this...enough with the opinions on brushes, wooster/ purdy, thats it

[gianthills]

No DIYer is spending $35 for an fn brush, dude.
