I'm new to brushes and was wondering how brush hairs are harvested from Badgers, Horses and Boars. I was doing some reading and learned that the badger hairs are taken from the "Asian Badger". I was wondering if anyone knew a little more information about this "Asian Badger"? Where exactly do they live in Asia, for example? Which species or sub-species of badger are we talking about here? This then led me to wonder where all the hairs are primarily coming from to supply brushes for horse and boar hair brushes? Are these also coming from "Asia" or further west? Just exactly what kind of horses and boars are hairs being harvested from?
Thank you
