    Of course you can. Here you go. Whipped Dog resells Chinese import knots and handles. As does The Golden Nib aka TGN. Cut out the middle man, and save money.
    Prove the above Guy,according to you, you have a major vested interest In Thater (one you have not explained)
    Vendor bashing is not allowed on this site,But for some unknown reason, you can get away with it.

    Ah, so we are back to character assassination? Let me tell you this, and I strongly suggest that this time you actually listen: I have no vested interest, commercial or otherwise, in any manufacturer. Thäter and Shavemac brushes blow Chinese made brushes out of the water in terms of craftsmanship and longevity. And that is not even mentioning the working conditions under which knots which retail for $5 must be made.

    There is a very simple, and very obvious reason: I do not bash vendors. Unless you mean something else than defame. Do Whipped Dog and The Golden Nib resell Chinese knots and handles? Hint: They do. There is nothing wrong with that per se.

    So, why do you not put your money where your mouth is, and prove where the "bashing" is. I am stating simple facts, and underpin them with links which will lead you to alternative, and cheaper, options.

    Thank you.

    My understanding is the majority of badger hair comes out of china...I know Da Vinci used badger out of Turkey but they are the exception to the rule.

    Well, yes. I never did, did I? I chose not to to save you the embarrassment. Since you are apparently begging for it, here is the original quote:

    Now, Thäter were founded in 1913.

    The Reichsmark was the currency in Germany from 1924 until 20 June 1948.

    A GmbH has no shareholders.

    Do you have any further questions on this issue? If so, I will be more than happy to help.

    No, they do not. They are hand made in Nuremberg by Harald Schuldes and his staff. What gave you the impression that Thäter (or Shavemac, or Rooney, or Simpson, or any European brush maker) uses Chinese made knots?

    Quote Originally Posted by pixelfixed View Post

    Of course it is. China has been the single source for badger hair for many years. I thought that was common knowledge, at least among people with a vested interest in brushes.

    I hope that helps. Now, would you please explain where the "bashing" was?

    Thank you.

    Dunno, I guess it depends who you ask and what the definition of a shareholder is. They seem to mention shareholders here German American Lawgroup - German Law in connection with GmbHs. It is not a public company where any person can buy shares in it on the stock market but a private company the owners of which are the shareholders by dint of capital investment. At least that is my uninformed impression.

    Why do I feel like I'm watching Jerry Springer every time Robin makes a post on a thread. It seems everyone is having a hard time getting along with you Robin. I hope this craziness doesn't last long.
    Burls, Girls, and all things that Swirl....

    I think Robin is actually doing this forum a great service by debunking a lot of the misinformation that is becoming common currency.

    Chinese manufactured knots, razors and other wet shaving implements can all be easily purchased directly from the manufacturer today, which is cheaper for the consumer, much to the middle man's chagrin.
