Thread: "Best" Brush for $100

I actually purchased a finest badger from that site once and it was quite comparable to my TGN finest, but slightly less soft in the tips. I think I only paid a couple dollars less than TGN knots so for the difference in knots the extra couple dollars was worth the softer tips. I also remember reading a couple articles that stated that most of the knots that simpson or some of the other companies come from the same sources as the cheaper knots. The only difference is that the bigger companies will hand pick the knots they want. They usually save the hand made knots for certain models. If I can find the articles again I will post a link.
