Is there such a thing as a beaver-bristle brush?

[Magruder]

I've been using a cheapo $5 brush I picked up 25 years ago at a drugstore in Eugene, Oregon, when I was in college. If my memory is correct, the box said it was made of beaver bristles.

Is this possible? My memory is nothing to rely on, but I don't think I'd have mis-read "boar bristle" as "beaver bristle".

The brand name is Ever-Ready, btw. Haven't been able to scrape up any useful info on it from searching the web.

Thanks...

I would think beaver hair would repel water instead of soaking it up.

I'll keep my comments to myself. :lol:

Apparently the Himalayan (dark) beaver hair is a lot stiffer and straighter than it's frizzy western counterpart.

I should have thought about this question more before I posted it. I didn't see the humor potential!

Jim Thompson made a good point about beaver bristles not absorbing water. I'm not sure that these bristles do absorb the water. I have a badger brush on order and I'll be able to do a comparison when it arrives.

This one is just too easy.... So I'll refrain. :rolleyes:

:blushing: I didn't think of the humor potential either.:rolleyes:

Sorry for bumping this one back up, but I was just curious as to how one went about grading beaver hair:lol:

[TheChefs]

I was always under the impression that the less beaver hair, the better the grade.

Beaver hair is like pizza- even when its bad, its still pretty good!:w00t:

That would depend if we're talking about the brush or the source!

How about both? It's a vicious circle of life for beavers.

Beaver bristles, more, or less desirable than High Mountain White?:lol:

Nothing like a warm beaver on your face 1st thing in the morning........

[boboakalfb]

I understand the latest trend is towards the Brazilian Beaver...no hair.

I was waiting for someone to say it depends on how bad your SBAD is:lol:

[Vinny Bobo]

Just as long as no beavers are hurt in the process. Humane beaver hair harvesting only! We may have to get PETA on the case. I know a guy that worked in a beaver hair harvesting plant.....
