First of all, I want to apologize if I offend anybody, that is not the intent of this post. For some time I have seen the definition of tops on this message board and it bothers me.
If this is true, when certain models use half 90% and half 70% why wouldn't they just call it 80% if it is just a mathematical ratio? I suspect there has to be something distinctly different between the different types (90% or 75% etc) for multiple manufacturers to specifically state that a certain model of brush is a mixture of 70% and 90%, and not just call it an 80%. What that difference is, I don't know. I thought that possibly it could be a ratio between the top of the animal's hair vs bottom of hair (less tapered and thus stronger) I've seen some ads use the word tips and not tops. But, again, the same problem emerges when mixing two types, 90% & 70% would equal 80%.
Could it be where they tie the knot along the length of the hair, leaving 10% or 30% of the length of the hair to be run back up into the brush? Then it would make sense to differentiate the two when mixing them together in the same brush.
Anyone else have any ideas? Again, I'm not trying to be a jerk. I think I'm just overly analytical and for some reason this definition bothers me and I'm having a hard time letting it go. My brain starts sparking and smoking when things do not compute!
