I was dismayed to hear that Vulfix had discontinued the Grosvenor 404 (Bodger) brush.
There are still a few out there. This eBay vendor has two available at the time of posting @£17.95 inc., and this seller has one to offer at £24.53 inc. shipping from Ireland.
I won't be parting with mine!
Edit: I note that the first vendor describes the brush to be a combination of boar and badger, whereas the second says it's a mix of synthetic and badger. I've always understood this to be a boar/badger brush - thus the name 'Bodger'.

Good for you!The eBay vendor is now down to one. Guess why.
It's described on the brush as "Bristle and Badger-Sterilized".
I like these mixed brushes, and thanks for the heads-up to enable securing a spare. On the other hand, the Vie-Long badger-horsehair brush is not top of my favourites.
I have elsewhere seen conditioner or a combined shampoo and conditioner recommended, but I haven't tried it myself. However, I can't see it doing any harm, although I wouldn't use too much to begin with.On this subject, i dug my 404 out of the cabinet and its looking a little tired and spikey - whats the best way to "wash" a brush like this to restore it natural splay and softness.
Looking at it now, If it was human hair you would say it needs conditioner, but what do i use to bring the life back to a 404 mixed Boar / Badger ?
