Fox hair shaving brush?

[rajagra]

Looks like badger to me, but has anyone heard of fox hair brushes?

In any case I'm not sure a crystal handle will last long if used.

Edit> Aha, I see a "Mr. Pedantic" made a comment in the auction without actually saying it was probably badger.

From seller (answer to Mr pedantic, not me!)

Hi, I`m selling this "exotic" bristle for my friend John ,who confirmed that is a fox hair. (Original price of it was £ 90.00).White (mutation of blue arctic fox) and silver foxes are farmed on large scale in some parts of Eastern Europe,which may explain origin of this particulary fox hair. Best regards,

Oh, really? Foxy

I'd be careful about this one. Last I read, fox-hair brushes require a steady diet of high-end food to keep their teeth clean and coats shiny.

Looks more like weasel hair.

I saw that brush too, even messaged the seller telling him it was probably badger, he didn't respond
