I am really just curious.
Many years ago when I starting shaving "properly," I did enough research to lead me to badger brushes and that was it. Knew nothing about the different badger hair grades other than cost, and for several years I used a Pure Badger (I call those the dark ages Image may be NSFW.

). Fortunately I have come a long way since then and many excellent (for me) brushes now reside in my den. I still own a Pure Badger brush, and used it the other day to test lather a soap I just got. I couldn't believe how different it felt compared to all the rest of my brushes I use now. Kind of unpleasant actually...
As I'm wrapping up my SBAD for the year, I noticed many reputable manufacturers carry Pure Badger grades in their line up. I have never used one from them, so I was wondering if there's anyone out there that did/does and what your experience was like.
