AWESOME EVEN THOUGH NOT REAL BADGER HAIR
Although NOT badger (or any other kind of) hair, I've been using these for almost a year - and they are the BEST shave brushes I've had yet!<br /><br />I've yet to experience the loss of a single bristle.  The trick is to use a stand and rotate two brushes, so one is always ready to go while the other is drying.  Letting them dry is important in order to keep mold/fungus from growing inside the base and deteriorating the glue bond.
