Silvertip Badger?
I saw this on ebay and am trying to figure out what could be wrong with it.
Isn't Silvertip is supposed to be one of the best grades of Badger hair?
Doesn't most of the badger hair comes from China to begin with?
What am I missing?
Any one ever dealt with this vendor?

Mine arrived from china last week. Took quite a while but I'm happy to have it. This is a darn nice brush. It's comfortable and makes a wonderful lather with my creams either in the mug or on my face. I don't any soaps to try this with.
I don't own any wildly expensive brushes to compare this too but other than a nice custom I no longer have an urge to spend more money on a brush.

Just how big is it Bob? Seems very, very inexpensive for a silvertip.

Good question - I think the 2.2cm refers to the knot size (sorry, not really up on brush-speak) and the 6cm refers to loft...? Wife's still asleep, so I can't go and compare mine until later...shhhh!
But wow, if that's a normal size silvertip, and it's in any way, shape, or form of decent quality, that's a real steal - my C&E silvertip cost me $170.00 (and it's not what I'd call large either)!!

I needed a brush and this can't be any worse than the $10 brushes can it? They have decent feedback, we shall see.
