Ok,
So I've been shaving right for three plus months now. I bought my first and only brush, no BAD yet, from coolshaving.com. I purchased from them because of this write up on their site, Shaving Brushes Badger and Boar, believing the animals were not killed for their hair. I realized a little while ago that the brush in their pictures, which is the one I got, is just a Col. Ichabod Conk brush. Is this whole bit about shearing the badgers just a ploy to sell brushes to animal rights activists? I do love animals but I am not a militant PETA fanatic or anything like that. I just bought the same Col. Conk brush for my dad at a local pipe shop and didn't see anything about the humane treatment of the badgers that gave their hair for the brush. Does anyone have any insight on this company and their badger shearing story?

Thanks all,
