Again I say, to each his own. I do not care for the residual smell of a badger brush so I use synthetic. I was not telling anyone not to use it or wringing my hands in dismay at the plight of badgers. Again I would not use a product of an animal harvested solely for its pelt. That again is a personal decision and ok do not judge those who do.
As for leather, I don't think I have anything that is genuine leather, but this is not because I object to leather, but because leather is a bit pricy and I'm a bit of a cheapskate.
When I was in the Navy I purchased a kangaroo skin walletb on shore leave in Australia. That was the best damn wallet I ever owned lasting 30 years before I had to give it up.
But with kangaroos and cattle they are indeed used for other purposes, and if you are going to eat meat, you might as well use as much of the product as possible. Someone suggested that where they produce the badger brushes they do consume badger meat, and so that ends that objection.
That just leaves need with the animal bristle brushes leave an unpleasant odor and that they are a bit pricy.
Although someone gifted me a badger brush and I'm currently using it.
