Why Do Badger Hair Shaving Brushes Vary so Greatly in Price?
There are two important things to consider when purchasing a badger shaving brush. The first is the quality and type of bristles and the second is the quality and type of handles. The bristles are described by the different parts of the badger from which hair is taken to create the bristles. For example, hair may be taken from the badger’s under hair. This hair is dark and is sometimes described as dark solid or standard solid badger hair. Hair may also be taken from taken from the upper hair on the badger’s tail or back resulting in silver solid or standard pure badger bristles. More expensive badger brushes are made from hair taken from the badger’s neck or certain places on the back. These brushes are more expensive because the hair is rarer and softer and the brushes are usually handmade. The types and sizes of shaving brush handles also factor into the price. Shaving brush handles are available in a variety of colors. They are also available in certain metals such as nickel. Nicke
