Tell you what--try a Boar brush, either an Omega (try one from
this page--the knots are all the same, and have a reputation as superb, and I think Paul Mayhew at connaught shaving has some in stock, he just hasn't got his webpage updated, or wait until Razor and Brush is back in business) or a Vulfix from Connaught shaving; he should have some new models with fantastic handles up soon.. Give it a month. If you don't like it, I'll buy it off you for full price. No harm, no foul.
Certainly cheaper than a new Badger!
