Might have thrown in a "the baby badgers offer the softest of hair with excellent heat retention".

I'm keeping this one for my next visit.

I'm not sure why I'm even about to say this but.......
Try saying that you use your own hair to make your brushes from..if you know what i mean.

I use my own Cheetah hair all the time.

A Cheetah hair brush.......Must be a "short loft"!

Should build lather fast though

im a hunter and a trapper and you havent felt nothing till you go to a fur sale with a yrs work in your sack and have people with signs calling you a murder and an animal hitler, i leanred to laugh it off and keep on with your bussiness, kinda makees you feel like your a minority but then you see another trapper and you 2 are instantly brotherslol im dead serious on the peta nuts at the fur sales.

almost reminds me of whale wars i think i watch that show just to yell at them and call them piraets that need to go for a nice cool swim,so dont feel bad just laugh it off.

I remember thirty or so years ago when the animal rights activists thing began to get serious. Women strolling down 5th ave in NYC with their minks or sealskin coats had people throwing a container of blood on the coats. Ruined their day and their coats.

I make sure my badger brushes are safely hidden if any suspected animal rights activist knocks on my door.

Hmm, I remember having a similar experience except the sales lady did not lambast my use of badger nor those poor pigs I use in my brush. Would the said sales person freak out if it was a scary looking boar? Anyway, I do not think my sales lady had an opinion one way or another. She was happy that I purchased the cream, the balm and the shave oil.

As has already been said by another, I'm a bit of a leftie, not quite tree hugging yet though. I'm a definate lover of animals, except goats, it's the eyes!
Has the sales lady ever met a badger? They aren't like they are in cartoons.
I bumped into one on my way home from work at around 0300hrs a few weeks back. They're angry!
Me walking up the cycle path, quite a nice tree and bush lined path. A badger was crossing said path. Badger turned, looked at me, growled and then began to advance.
Me being the sissy I am promptly back tracked and went around.

All in all an unneccessary display of aggression from Mr or Mrs badger.

Still in my mind there are large badger farms which catch the badgers around april, shave them bald and then let them run on the farm again. To that farmer willing to take on badgers like that, I salute you

Yes ma'am , and I clubbed them myself.
