Badger hair is mostly sourced from China nowadays, so I think it's easy to get a great knot and a great handle from an artisan. I have something like 24 brushes, some boar, some synthetic, a horse and badgers including 2 band, finest, 2&3 band silvertips. My absolute favorites are my HoneyFarmDesign 2 band and silvertip badgers, prefering them to my Simpson. Artisans know how to source a great knot and also know how to turn out a great handle at a good price. Before that I was gravitating towards synthetics for the obvious benefits they present. The face feel of a great badger knot is unbeatable IMHO&YMMV.
