I don't even know anymore if a brush, ANY brush, is worth anything over $100..I can get a GREAT lather from a $10 boar...the end result (the shave) is still the same...I think I'd rather invest in some quality hardware (razors) rather than software (brushes). Back in the days, weren't men using boar rather than badger? all barbershop videos i've seen they were using boars...of course the simpsons or Thater CEO will tell you otherwise because if not for their overpriced brushes they wouldn't be able to afford an aston martin and a mistress or two on the side. This is my 2 cents. As always YMMV.
