Paint brush

Abstract

Described is a paint brush that includes: a handle; a ferrule secured to the handle; and a brush head including a plurality of synthetic bristle filaments extending in a longitudinal direction from the ferrule. The brush head has a width dimension and a thickness dimension in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, with the width dimension being greater than the thickness dimension. Each filament has a fixed end secured at the ferrule and an opposite free end longitudinally distant from the ferrule. The free ends of at least a portion of the filaments collectively define a substantially chisel-shaped tip profile in a plane perpendicular to the width dimension such that an apex of the chisel-shaped tip extends across the width of the brush head. Every filament in the brush head is tapered over at least 60% the filament length.
