There are a few goat hair brushes around some over $100 and this cheap $15 brush I took a chance on . Unbranded . Decent real wood handle . Guessing a 19" knot that is semi dense . It actually stirred up a nice lather . Application was good . Lost about 8 hairs indicating poor glue or glueing technique . A few more shaves will tell if it's an ongoing problem . As for the goat hair itself I would say it's closer to boar hair with a little softer feel .

They seem to still sell these, but I don’t think they actually make them looking at their website. Current pics are all white vs. your dyed version.
I’m a little skeptical that it is goat. Sure looks like boar hair vs goats I have been around.
@malocchio - do you think it is actually different than boar, or is it possible that it is boar and the sellers don’t really know?

If it's goat, it's silver tip to boot!
Does it smell like Feta? 
Looks like a boar to me as well.
I did remember there was a thread about goat hair in brushes many years ago, and I found it. The mixed brush was extremely floppy and soft, and I always thought that Goat is a soft hair:

Floppy?! You ain't seen nothing yet!! (pic heavy)
Dear friends... here's one for a laugh! I've always been into exotic stuff, so a while ago, I stumbled upon a site that sells these... they are marketed as "Made in Japan from premium goat, horse and raccoon hair". Needless to say, I had to try it, just for the sake of trying, if anything...

That’s ridiculous.
Raccoons are for hats!

Am I the only one who thinks they missed the opportunity to stamp a Goat image on the handle?
Goat hair is soft. I'm trying to think of any place on a goat that would have such boar like hair and I cannot. It looks like boar to me.
We've had a couple of goats, and their hair was fairly soft. And I don't recall that type of hair, but there are a number of different breeds.
Now I want a Bock Beer. 
Interesting!! (Only wish I had something to add to the discussion.)
The only goat bristle shaving brushes I've seen have been those Japanese ones that in the thread Rudy linked to made by a company called Kanaya (although they seem to be discontinued, archived link). And a really small one that Redecker in Germany seem to make themselves (as opposed to Muhle making it for them, Redecker use goat for their dusting brushes).
Imotion goat hair what ever next
Is it for shaving giants?- Thread starter

If my memory banks are functioning , I believe several years ago a Japanese member posted that " raccoon " is actually an erroneous translation for a different animal ...

Casu Martzu ....Does it smell like Feta?

I think so, I believe each blend of fibres only came in one handle shape and colour each.
