I'm still confused.
Meles Meles seems to have plenty of long hair to make brushes with:
While Melogale Moschata seems to have awfully short hair for that purpose.
Nice Pics! I'd like a brush made from the top one please...it looks "nicer", but I know that of the brushes currently in mass production around 98% comes from the second picture with other "graded" hair mixed in...I bet Bernd knows...we should shoot him an email, and see what he says. I do know of one Plisson Custom that used Ratel hair, and was exceedingly white with Pure Black shafts...quite stunning, really...but at $2650 would be about $2000 out of my price range.
BTW...The poke at the Fins was in pure fun, but read later sounded like an insult so I would like to openly apologize. Sorry guys.
So those DNA guys actually tested hair from a Brush, eh? I wonder where the brush originated, what make it was, and what the brush looked & felt like. It would be interesting to know what species of Badger my Shavemac 23mm Grade 1 brush is made from...We need more of those in the world!
