I've been wanting to get a new brush lately because I haven't been to happy with the Simpson Colonel I purchased. I was wanting to get something with a larger knot and I really liked the Butterscotch Beehive from Vie-Long (I already had the horse hair brush). I ordered the badger brush last Thursday from one of my fav B&B vendors and it already arrived today. Quick question for you all...I noticed the Vie-Long label was partially worn off. Would that have happened after several uses anyhow? What do you all think of the quality of Vie-Longs?
