Right, I've finished my cleaning session - soaked in cellulose thinners; worked carefully against the inside of the jar lid; rinse in white spirit; wash & knead with white soap & water; then rinse in plain water
As you've gathered, I didn't use a clothes peg but they don't seem to have suffered

A count reveals that I have 34 brushes, more than I thought. Split roughly into thirds - sable; synthetic; odds & ends like makeup brushes, budget & unknown fibres that I've picked up over the years. And a reasonable range of sizes in each category
As you've mentioned, I'll use these oddments for rough work

That should keep me going for the forseeable future, but I've decided that I like synthetic brushes, and so that's what I'll buy if I need any more.

I'm glad you wash and knead your brushes in soap and water. Although the brush seems clean up to that stage, the soap (or washing up liquid) brings out quite a lot of colour.
