Anyone use these and having problems with filament loss?

Cracking, reasonably priced brushes...but we have had 4 now that simply fall to bits when you wash them under a tap....im not talking one or two im talking whole clumps of filaments..

Spoke to the shop that supplied them...good company and helpful, they said they had sold hundreds and have not had one single problem like ours...I turned that around and said I have washed out hundreds of brushes from other manufacturers and never had any problems either..

Anyone else?

I have used the x5's, x7's and x9's and found the 7's to be the best in my opinion. I assume they think the x9's are the best of the bunch but I like the "floppiness" of the x7's, as the x9's seem to be a lot stiffer.

As for filament loss I can't say I have noticed, I have a couple of 2 inch, a 3 inch and a 4 inch and have washed these out on numerous occasions without drastic filament loss.

Dodgey batch maybe, I do not know if they are "hand-made" like the Purdy but it could just have been a bad day on the production line!

The range are all made in China...I have found its a bit and miss...washed a couple of 1.5 inch ones out today under a tap, no problem, then washed a 2 inch out and the filaments were coming out by the dozen...I opened one up and found the filaments were held in place in a block of resin about 2mm deep...the hogs have about 8mm..

Im waiting for the rep to contact me..I'll report back when he does
