    Just like justifying a 75k truck over a30k truck it's all what you want and can afford, my wife doesn't a wear 200 dollar rings either So that's my input lots of reasons to spend more , like in good shoes or fine wines. Etc. etc. tc

    Shoes are a good analogy,I have 3 pairs of Faragamos I bought 30 yrs ago (very spendy) are still in perfect condition.
    I have a Hoffritz badger brush I bought 30 yrs ago,used almost every day for about 20 yrs,still in perfect condition.

    Probably the best analogy is taking a flight and either going coach or first class. It's the same plane and it gets you there the same time and the ride is equally comfortable or uncomfortable. You pay the big bucks for the fancy seats and the hot towel and a meal served on real dishes and some mixed nuts. Is that worth 5x as much or more?

    My friend Valery from The Gentleman's Den, he say's he's tried them all, but that brush you mention is by far his absolute favorite....hands down, I don't even bother asking his advice anymore about brushes because I know what he'll say....

    Since I don't have a Boar Brush...and based on your well respected recommendation, I just purchased The Owner's Club Brush in Cherry wood. I've had an Amazon Gift card since Christmas and I've been waiting for 'just the right thing' to come along. This qualified!

    Thanks Obie!

    Well you are partially wrong there Spendur....You get plenty O mixed nuts in coach too....they just don't come in a small foil bag anymore.........
