The quality in TGN knots dropped the last years
I have bough from this store many knot all kinds but their black-pure-finest badgers are not as few wears back.
I hesitate to order again for this reason [plus the international shipping rate raised].

Yes, working conditions may have improved over the years but I'll bet they are still nowhere near what would be considered acceptable by western standards. Mind you western working conditions are not what they once were either.
