    Because I have so many Silvertip Badger Brushes Larry (Whipped Dog) had suggested going with a Pure Black Badger and a High Mountain Badger knot. Going to go with his recommendation.

    I just restored a brush and used the black badger. It's very soft and "scritchy" (Larry's term) at the same time. It's very nice. You will love it.

    Nice job, Doug. Waiting for the knots is the hard part. I am looking forward to your finished products.
