How do you clean it if you don't bend bristles?

Hehe-- ok, I bend them-- I don't break them. * * * *

I bend mine a lot to get all the paint out of the ferrule that I can.
Always wash, rinse with hot water to shape bristles and dry while brush
in hanging up.

That really keeps the brush in pristine "shape".

I have a set of Purdy (and similar quality) brushes that no one but me
gets to use and I have a set of cheaper brushes for the wife and
offspring.

If they don't know how to clean a brush after using it, then they'll
just have to live with the crappy paint job they'll get from the
cheaper brushes.
