Yep, I tried the foam, disastrous. Mid-level brush is worth it.

long you are picking bits and pieces of the foam out of the paint. It
literally disintegrates the foam.  Personally, I found it much easier to pick
out the occassional hair from the el-cheapo brushes than to try to fight the
bits and pieces of foam brush left on just about every brush stroke.

Imagine that you are creating barbs in the wire shank to prevent it's being
pulled out of something if you were to stab it into it.  Then when you find a
hair in your paint, take your wire and place the barbed end over the hair,
rotate the wire just a bit and the barbs will grasp the hair... then pull the
hair out.
