help me with shaving brush hair please

[80211ac]

hi all,

I just need some help in finding out what these brushes are made of?

I went to spain for holiday and bought two of these for 9 euros each along with soap etc. The shopkeeper did tell me what these hair were but with my limited spanish and his limited english i could not make what he said. but these felt good and were soft on my face so i bought them. I don't have my old badger hair brush to compare with so cannot really make what hair are these.

I just want someone to have a look and help me in finding out if these are boar or horse or badger and if badger then what type. These are definitely not synthetic as i burnt one hair to check the residue but there was none. These do have a distinct smell that i can't put a finger on. The handle is made of some stone/marble.

Thanks

It looks like three band badger. As far as hair grade, every brush maker uses a different grading scale. A Simpson Best is great, a Golden Nib Best, not so much.

Looks like a very small basic badger brush.

It's definitely not small. Maybe the angle of the photos doesn't do justice.
