What swayed it for us is how the Chinese treat human beings, we don't believe they treat their aniamls any better.

This is a generalised statement and smacks of bigotry.
No doubt there are some Chinese people as there are some Brits, Europeans, Westerners etc. whose behaviour does not respect the rights and dignity of others.
If you are ceasing the sale of Badger brushes because of the alleged mis-treatment of Badgers then that is your choice; but I do wonder if this is primarily a marketing initiative by Executive Shaving.
I also wonder why, as a company, you are not so exercised about the incontrovertible evidence of devastating harm to plant, animal and human life from synthetic fibres and palm oil production, the former used in synthetic shaving brushes, the latter extensively in shaving soaps. I am sure it is not because of the financial implications to your business or is it?.
A company that champions ethics should also, in my view, not only look at its supply chain and sustainability, but also be charging competitive prices and certainly not above manufactures recommended prices (please see previous posts on members views regarding Executive Shaving's high prices; if not the highest amongst UK online vendors).
I will continue to use badger, I do not like synthetic brushes, there are many many other vendors I can buy from so it is not a problem...tho, if you think I will buy a badger brush from a vendor, then visit executive shaving for soap etc...you would be wrong, anyone who buys B brushes most likely will just change where they buy all their shaving needs, I wont be faffed visiting 3 vendors when one will suffice.goodbye executive shaving, I dont neec you now.
Indeed.To be honest, I've been following and enjoying a discussion where no personal insults have been levelled, no childish threats issued and no Moderation intervention has been required.
If only our professional politicians could manage to strongly disagree in such an agreeable manner.
How very TSR, and my personal thanks to all contributers.

I prefer Muhle synth brushes to badgers for their performance, and price point. I won't buy badger brushes on principle. As far as the post from @JohnnyO, I'm sure he has an ulterior motive.
You know it's all done by standing order now Johnny, I set it up to be paid on the 32nd of every month.I am, perhaps somewhat naively, trusting that my TSR cheque is in the post, Steve.

I love Badgers , they are one of my favourite animals, but,
Would it be wrong to buy an occasional Badger if it was on the second hand market?
