HD FBOY, I kind of like getting the most out of a product before upgrading to a better or more expensive one --just the way I am. But some people consider the looks of a brush as well as how it works --the burma isn't that attractive of a brush ---but that's not something I notice anyway. When it fails me I'll upgrade --and if I do I'm sure I'll be more prepared to get the most out of a badger. Later,
Justin
