Is this the same thing as Crabtree & Evelyn badger best brush? Or the Badger Pure brush? Thanks

I am afraid there is not an industry standard that specifically defines grades of badger hair, there are basic classifications that many manufacturers use to describe the quality of hair used in their brushes.You might want to take a look at http://www.shaving101.com/index.php/education/shaving-brush-basics/105-understanding-hair-grades-of-badger-brushes.html

I own both brushes and this does not come close to the UD brush. I bought this in hopes that it would be a dupe because the UD brush is a pain to clean (and takes forever to dry), but it's easily one of my favorites brushes. It's a powerhouse that I use to apply almost everything from liquid/powder highlight, undereye concealer, setting powder for underneath the eye, liquid foundation). The real techniques brush is OKAY in it's own right, but I wouldn't buy it if I were looking for a dupe for the optical blurring brush. Save your money and buy the UD brush. The only thing I use this brush for now is to apply and blend my highlight. I own both brushes and this does not come close to the UD brush.

I think it is real. I bought this one and compared it online to more expensive ones Handy all boar bristle, and it looks identical, from the writing on the handle to the box it came in. The brush itself says The Mason Pearson (no 'brothers')... I think the website just has it listed strangely.

I would say so. It does a great job! I can definitely tell the difference between using this brush and my old one.

I think they are synthetic, which I prefer. Boar bristle brushes tear up my hair, and this brush does not. I also love the Twilight paddle brush. On it, the bristles are plastic with beads on the end. That brush has lasted for years without losing any of the beads. Honestly, any of the Twilight hair care products are the best I've ever used.

I've had the older version of Rotodent and got 16 years out of it. They changed the style of brush on this and they made it a "non-direct" electrical recharging base which is why the older one went bad (the electrical connections rusted out due to water)....so i'm completely satisfied with the new improved version.

I love mine. I have looked at them in the store and they are the same. You can buy them at Kohls and Bed Bath and Beyond in the store. Compare prices and do the best deal. They were the same brushes for me. You can always send it back if you are not happy. .

I think the small 7.5" 20mm would work well for you. I have the big one but I have Newfies! Great brush, especially if they don't like to be brushed, they will let you with this one because it doesn't pull.

I have a very old Hoky that I love. I decided to get another one and the brush keeps coming off. I was very disappointed in it. It cleans great as long as the brush stays on. I don't use it on my hardwood floors, I only use it on carpet even though I have a lot of hardwood. I find a microfiber dry mop works best on dust and I use my reg vac for the hardwood floors. Hope that helps.

Badger is an animal that the brush is made from, the blades of the razor is a double head razor, but my husband uses a single razor the old fashion kind that way you only have one blade and one side but you have one on each side of the razor you are the one that control the blade.

I assume "Tweezerman" is a brush...one I don't own. I have only a couple of VandenHagen brushes. Is Tweezerman a particularly good brush?

No difference....they all do the same thing I think the only difference is the brush attachments some are softer than other..this one is just right not too soft or too hard...

I ordered the same brush for my long-haired german shepherd. It was a joke. I gave it my friend who has a chihuahua. They price it so it's more of an inconvenience to return it, so we all end up keeping it. I love their undercoat brush and they are actually accurate in that description.

I found this info from another site, School of Wash.com. This is the site: http://schoolofwash.com/product/wet-shave-essentials/parker-chrome-handle-silvertip-badger-brush-premium/ I had been looking for the same info earlier. Also note the price differential. I ordered mine from Amazon.

I happen to use both. I use the wooden brush first - I love the wooden bristles feel against my scalp and it is a better detangler for me - and I use it last to help de-static my hair. I use the boar bristle brush in between as I think it does a better job of moving sebum down the hair strands for shiny, healthy hair.

I bought the original Mason Pearson in Bermuda. It's still the best brush you can buy.

I did not have particular issues with the bristles falling out, but abandoned this one because the plastic bristles were about 1cm longer than the "boar" bristles, which was not what I wanted. I went with a Kent brand brush, which is quite good, but more expensive.
