Just bought the soft blender brush today from the Bob Ross brand. Any tips for care outside of using odorless thinner and brush conditioner? I don’t plan on beating the devil out of this brush.

    You will find that due to the soft touch it needs to use it properly you will never get it full of paint, you should just have a light amount of paint on the tips of the bristles which is a real bonus. You are right to clean it gently, it's all it needs. I squeeze mine with a paper towel to remove as much of the odourless thinner that I can, then allow to air dry. When mine was new it shed a few hairs which was of concern to me as I was new to painting and thought there was something wrong with the brush, but it just suddenly stopped losing hairs and has been trouble-free ever since.
