TIL switching to a finer brush for balayage saves me so much product

For like 2 years I was using those thick, blocky brushes for balayage and going through toner like crazy. Then I grabbed a finer tipped brush from the supply store on a whim last month. Honestly, it lets me place highlights way more precise and I'm not wasting product blending out big chunks. Has anyone else made a simple tool swap that changed their routine?

Actually balayage uses a thicker brush to paint on the color, a finer brush is more for foils or highlights.

Oh wait, are you saying a finer brush actually works better for paint-on color or is it more of a personal preference thing for you?
