I know but as a full time machinist I couldn't resist. Here have a it's been a long day.

I was still puzzled by the .060 boar bristle(must be using a broom or something)

I have 2 absolutely identical brushes 1 boar and 1 badger.... after imprint on one handle washed out with time, I start to be not able to distinguish them...

What can I say, a "SENIOR" moment ;-) What is sad is I was sitting here looking at my old NSK mechanical readout micrometer. Just left off a 0 ;-(

Have to head over to the VA today, see if I can get in for a brain transplant!

I think the problem is that from the start it was two identical badger brushes.

Once I made a major order from shop which included badger brush, instead of discount they offered me free boar brush... When they arrive I found them absolutely identical (stiffens, color, initial odour)... As for that time I have had cheap Twizzerman brush with which I can compare I decided that it was two badger brushes...But still even now every time I shave I tries to find a difference...
