I read this on Wikipedia:
"A super badger brush is a more expensive than either 'best' or 'pure'. While some call this hair 'silvertip', it is often highly graded 'pure' hair bleached on the ends to resemble silvertip.
Though it is comprised of 'pure' badger hairs, 'super' is graded and sorted to such a degree that its performance is superior to that of 'best'."
And I was about ready to go buy a Crabtree & Evelyn Superbadger brush. ($58 on sale) These are made by Edwin Jagger.
So how can I be sure that this brush is of "silvertip" quality and not just bleached "pure" bristles?
