Just tried out my new paintbrushes....

[Silverblade The Ench]

Well I find the metallic paints clump horribly

I notced the "triangle, thick brush" thing, after I got a set of brushers who'se handles were shaped like that, can't recall the maker though. Was so much nicer that I've never went back

My personal experience would tell me the round grip is just fine, but you might want athletic tape for your fingers and maybe some kind of wrist support.

Everyone's hands seem to take to the strains of the brush differently.

also: From what I've heard you might not want to store your fancy brushes upright when they're wet.

Yeah, I've heard that. I think it is because it shifts any paint left in the brush up into the ferrule, which over time ruins the point. I try to leave the brush flat while it is drying. When the brush has dried I put the plastic cap on the end to protect the hairs and store them upright in my paint pot. I might start storing them tip down from now on though, just to be safe.
