Got this badger brush over 12 years ago. Can't remember from where I purchased it or what kind of badger it was, but it was my first badger. I can tell you that I didn't take great care of it over the years, so about a month ago it started shedding pretty badly. So, a little virtual trip to the Golden Nib to pick up a best badger, a little epoxy, and BAM, a "new" brush.
