I got one in the post this morning , seems ok have'nt used it yet . I have'nt used a badger before so I can't really offer a good evaluation. But for that money can you really go wrong ?

I got given one as a present about six months ago and it has performed very well on soaps and creams it has shed two hairs over that time, since most of the brush makers get the badger hair from China anyway its a good cheap brush and seems to be well made i hope you enjoy yours.

This is the one i was given

I'd be interested how it measures up to a name brush .

 

[hando]

should be ok, just watch for how much hair it sheds early doors

you'll soon know if it's a duck egg

I'll hopefully give it a whirl later

The one i have works well with soaps and creams and i have two named brushes in pure and super and it works as well as both of them, i think there is a lot of snobbery involved with these cheap brushes not everybody can afford high end brushes as good as they may be, i think there is room for all types as long as they are well made.

well said

Well of course my £200 brush is so much much better, the hair has been plucked from the ass holes of a super rare breed of mountaineering badger only accessible by hot air balloon.

I am a snob so there.

I seem to have hit a nerve, it was only an observation to help Damion but ha ho if it works :lol:

Any more would have been vulgar.
Actually I suspect the others were killed by an outraged Mountain Badger - after all how would you feel if someone tried to ...... hang on a minute - don't people actually pay to have their arseholes depilated?

 

[antdad]

The badgers pay too if they go to Badger and Blade.

Sounds like a question only PigCat can answer
