I got this Caswell-Massey silver tip badger brush from a lot a bought about 2 weeks ago, the whole lot was $200. The brush was basically $20! i think that is a steal for a $95+ brush! I have a pic attached with it compared to a $55 pure badger AOS brush and a $30 AOS travel brush. That last nylon brush was my great grandfather's. Let me know yall's opinions on this brush!
