I have touched one before (Gramercy brushes) and found them thicker than your regular Purdy or Corona brushes.
Which works best if your brushing larger surface.

The thicker body of the brush indicates more bristles which in turn will hold more finish. This brush will lay down a smoother more even film of finish than an inferior brush. With a thick ox-hair brush (the bristles themselves are very fine) like the Gramercy you should be able to easily draw the brush along a piece of wood for 6-7 feet without needing to reload the brush; proper technique (appling slightly more pressure as you proceed) will leave a smooth even coat from one end to the other...

Finishing is an 'Art & a Science'. Actually, it is a process. You must understand the properties and tendencies of the finish you are using. You must know the proper steps and techniques, then you must execute them properly.
