Any badger brush expert?

[Angioino]

Hi all,

I am calling to all badger brushes experts and experienced users to help me identify the type of badger hair is on this shaving brush. Only thing I know is that is a badger knot from China, bought probably on Aliexpress few years ago. As it is my only badger brush I cannot really compare it with others and I also get pretty confused with the different types of badger hair and terminology from different makers. Can you help me?

Looks like a two band badger.

Thank you! Is that the manchurian basically? and which do you think is the best badger brush you have in your den?

Don't know about the Manchurian. Everyone will have their own favorite, but the two band is usually firm with soft tips and makes lather easily, it's the only badger I would own.
