I made another visit to the Art of Shaving store in Bellevue Square (in scenic downtown Bellevue, Washington) over the weekend to scope out brushes. Mainly I wanted to fondle the silvertips to see if I would be interested in them.
Anyway... on the top shelf of the brush cabinet they had four or five "mountain badger" brushes. They all had some kind of stone handle with a removable cap on the bottom. I was told that this was for easy removal of the knot if it should ever need replacing.
If I can recall correctly the prices ranged from around $300 for the modestly-sized brush to $750 for the GIANT floppy one. Any takers?
Also, does anyone know if there is a species of badger called a "mountain badger?" I thought it funny that a burrowing animal would live in the mountains...
