Oh well I'll have to share here then:

The Grosvenor 404 Badger / Boar mix. My second real brush. I had always wanted to get one of these after Fidos great recommendations at this price - £8.40 plus p & p direct from Progress Vulfix on the Isle of Man.

Whilst it clearly states made in England I ordered from and spoke to Brett in the Isle of Man who made it within a week for me. I suppose he could have hopped on the ferry over to the mainland.............

Always makes me laugh :lol:
