Same brush width, different bristle feel
At 1.5 in wide, Purdy XL Glide uses medium-stiff nylon/polyester, Clearcut Glide uses stiff nylon/polyester, and Nylox Glide uses soft nylon. Width alone will not choose between them. Start with the coating’s brush guidance, then decide which bristle material and stiffness belong in your hand.
Across these selected Purdy sizes, widths span 1 to 3 in. Purdy’s material and stiffness descriptions cannot predict your finish; no paint was applied here to supplement them. Syntox Flat has extra-soft nylon/Chinex, while Chinex Elite Glide has extra-stiff Chinex, both at 2 in wide.
Order the width on the item, not the family photograph
Purdy Pro-Extra Glide combines Tynex/Chinex/Polyester bristles; White Bristle Sprig uses natural white bristles. Those are different material choices even before you consider shape or width. Use the coating label and Purdy’s product guidance rather than assuming any brush of a matching width suits the same paint.
The selected size represents a brush design, while the manufacturer page can group additional widths. Match the item number and chosen width when buying. The picture or family name alone does not promise that size is available, and a different size option changes the width you compared.
Before you buy
Can I choose an extra-soft brush at a wider size?
Purdy Syntox Flat is 2 in wide, extra soft and made with nylon/Chinex. At the same width, Chinex Elite Glide is extra stiff, with Chinex bristles. Purdy XL Glide and Clearcut Glide are both 1.5 in wide with nylon/polyester bristles. XL is medium stiff; Clearcut is stiff. Width does not decide stiffness. If that medium-stiff category appeals, XL is the option to consider. Nylox Glide offers soft nylon at the same width. Choose bristles suited to your coating rather than judging by width alone.
Do different widths count as extra designs?
One size per brush design appears here. Match the item number and width on the product page; other size choices can change the width.
Can I order the exact pictured size?
The manufacturer page can group several sizes. Select the named item explicitly and check current stock; a family page is not a promise of that size’s availability.
