Is this really a "Best Badger" or a "Pure Badger?

[blackzarg]

I was looking at this Vulfix 403B Brush rrom Westcoast shaving, and it says it is best badger. However, when I typed it into google, another place said that the 403B is Pure Badger. Which one is correct?

Here's why "What should I get?" Post.

Thanks!

I'm just guessing here, but some brush mfrs. will sell the same brush with different grades of hair. So the West coast brush would be best badger, and the other one would be the same brush in pure badger. As for the Crabtree and Evelyn brush, I believe they are made by Edwin Jagger. The EJ best badger brush is highly recommended as a great value for the money. See links here:

Thanks for the links!

I'll go with the Edwin Jagger.

Just wondering - where does "Black Badger" sit on the quality scale? I'm referring to this Edwin Jagger Tortoise Shell brush..

That would definitely be very confusing...

There are no standards so they can call them whatever they want. If your talking about top of the line like Rooney Finest or Simpson Super very few makers use that grade. Vulfix does not.

Good choice. I like mine.

Their web site says pure, here is a link:

On the other hand, badger hair grading is a thing that every company does differently. I recommend to go to our Wiki pages and look up the grades for the different companies.
