Well thanks for all the input. It was a pretty one sided debate... ha!

I do plan on keeping my burma brush, I have no issues with it, and it works well with the williams soap. But it will be nice to compare it to a badger, especially once I get some creams.

Thanks again!

P.S. - and if anyone else uses Discover Card, you can get double your cash back bonus as a C&E gift card! Not bad!
