Semogue boar are great brushes I cannot recommend them enough.
Does he own an iPhone? Because that's made in china too
Lol. He ended up settling.Does he own an iPhone? Because that's made in china too [emoji23]
Good to know. Thank you.I don't think boar hair and knots in European brushes come from China.
Whoever tried boar knots from China has been disappointed.
And why import something with all the caveat/ fees/taxes that is what available locally (pigs)

No, I'm not sure!Are you sure about that? Everybody has said that they come from China. I hope you're right. Also I wonder if paintbrushes (and shaving brushes being a type of paintbrushes) were really invented in China and how did they get to Europe so early on?
No, I'm not sure!
but why rely on hairs just from China when there are boars and pigs in every country.
What I know is...
Yaqi stopped making them sometime ago and they were not on par with European offerings.
Most threads about Chinese boar brushes are not enthusiastic.
Only what can be found online.Do you also know anything about the history of shaving brushes?
Noob question: How come non synthetic badgers are (all?) made in China? Is it simply the cost, or other variables like laws and animals?
Thanks.
As far as badger hair is concerned, badger is an endangered and protected species in most parts of the world. Not so in China. They are a pest there so there is an abundance in badger hair. China also has lmade an industry out of furnishing badger hair because of their abundance.
Does he just want American made? If not I don't get why he's against Chinese made stuff
