Synthetic bristle brushes such as the Easy-Flo Brush Set, Professional Synthetic and the Advantage Brush Set have little to no bristle loss but hold less paint than a natural bristle brush. Natural bristle brushes hold more paint for easier application but due to the non-conformity of the bristles can shed the occasional one in use. Mixed bristle brushes such as the Contractor and the ProDec 3 Brush Set offer a value 'disposable' option while offering good paint loading and minimal bristle loss.
