The Chinese Breed Badgers for their Hair..They are Farmed..It has been Suggested that a lot Depends on the Quality of the Feeding & Environment..Its Also been Suggested that Natural Badgers in their Own Natural Habitat Produce Higher Quality Badger Hair..Sounds a Bit Like Common Sense to Me..

I saw a video a while back that showed the makers at Simpson using a shaped dish. The hairs are placed into the dish (tip down) to form the shape, then tied and trimmed at the base. Might be worth trying to knock something similar up.I've sourced some synthetic hair from china to practice with. ( it's cheaper at £90 delivered for one kilo, as opposed to £600 per kilo with a minimum order of ten kilos! ) so I'm now trying to construct a way to get the fan/bulb shape!
