What is the difference in silver tipped badger bristle, grey badger bristle, badger effect and normal bristle?
Grey badger hair is taken from the main body of the animal, and Silver tipped badger hair is taken from the neck area. Both are then boiled, bleached, treated, and both used to fill luxury shaving brushes. The silver tip is regarded as the ultimate in quality for its softness and resilience, whilst the grey is slightly coarser and more suitable for stronger beards. Badger effect is made up from a mixture of synthetic hairs, goat hair and various other animal hairs, but no badger. Bristle, which we use to fill most of our hairbrushes, comes from long haired boars.
