I occasionally receive catalogs from a site called DeutscheOptik, from which I used to buy military binoculars (another of my oddball collecting hobbies). Anyway, in their current catalog they featured a Hans Baier silverpoint badger brush for $39. I figured, what the heck and ordered one. I received it yesterday and it looked, and felt, pretty nice. Gave it a shampoo/conditioner pre-treatment yesterday and used it to shave this morning. I must say, it seems to be a very nice brush. Anyone else familiar with this brand?
