Anybody out there have experience with the C&E Premium Badger Hair Brush?

I saw this one on their website.

Looks interesting. Just curious if anybody has some experience using said brush. Thanks.

It looks to me like the "premium" is referring to the handle, not the badger hair. It appears to be "pure".

I can verify this. I was just at my local C&E (Beachwood, OH), and the bristles on this "premium" look exactly like the $35 version with the regular cream-colored handle that I purchased. The handle on the premium is somewhat heavier than I expected, and designed to match a polished metal shaving set that they sell with bowl and stand. IMHO, not worth the $$.

They also had an $80 silvertip brush with a much larger, wider spread of hair, but it seemed a little stiff to me.
