    Default Different fur?

    Ok, so badger is said to be the best brush there. I have seen badger brushes, synthetic, boar, and horse. This all got me to wondering, could you use bear fur seeing as badger is part of the bear family? Or what other animals have you heard of being uesed fro brushes (sorry for any spelling errors, on my phone)

    Considering how many years brushes have been in use I suspect every critter out there has been tried at one time or another. It's not like doing so requires some engineering or scientific advancement.

    Badgers are Weasels, not Bears, not that Bear fur wouldn't be interesting to try, but if I lived in WI where you guys still do have Wolverines right???? I would be keeping a close eye toward road kills

    Maybe that wouldn't be a great idea after all, isn't Wolverine fur Waterproof and Frostproof ?????

    It's funny you mentioned that Glen, I was just thinking the other day (for unknown reason) about a wolverine hair brush. That would be nifty
