I don't know about you, but I hate taping off walls for painting. It just seems like it takes forever and I'm always itching to get started. Well, when I was making over my sister's room I found the perfect solution and it doesn't involve taping. I was standing in the paint aisle and I remembered reading this post about the perfect brush for edging. I thought it sounded too good to be true or like you had to be super good with a paint brush for it to work, but I was tired and wanted to get this show on the road so I went for it. They didn't have the exact brush that was mentioned at Home Depot so I went for one that looked really similar and crossed my fingers. I did buy some back up tape just in case things went south, but I was so amazed at how well it worked. I almost patted myself on the back thinking maybe I had developed a steady hand after years of painting, but I switched to a different brush about halfway through just to see and it was awful. I have to give credit to the brush. It was definitely worth the $5 investment!
I found mine at Home Depot but it looks like they sell the same one on Amazon too!
It's a total game changer and I'm hoping it means I never have to tape again!

I think I have to get myself one ;)
It's my favorite too! Although I have yet to go sans tape!
I'm definitely going to try that (if my husband ever lets me paint again)!! Thanks for the tip!
I finally got one of these a few weeks ago and it has changed my painting life :) I especially love the flexible handle! Great post!
Me too! I wish I had gotten one earlier, total game changer!
You should definitely try it! I'm amazed at how much time it saved me.
Totally agree, anything to avoid taping! :)
I was hesitant to go without the tape, but the brush really made it easy! I don't feel like I have a super steady hand, but it ended up turning out great.
You definitely do Julia! You would love it. It saved me so much time!
So great to know - thanks for sharing! I have A LOT of painting in my future :)
YES!! I've used this for the past 4 years for cutting in/edgeing & it's my favorite. I don't think I've taped in 4 years!
Woo hoo! Definitely going to give this a try. Thanks for the tip!
That is my brush of choice as well. LOVE it. Changed my life.
I have that brush and love it too! Love the short handle, it's so hard to cut in with a long handle!
