The History Of Badger Hair in Shaving Brushes

Badger hair is imported from ASIA, USSR and CHINA

The above countries being the main importers of Badger hair operate a strict control over how much hair is exported each year, clearly displaying their awareness of environmental conservation.

Early records show that badger is hunted primarily for its meat and that the hair is a product of an animal which is regarded to be an important source of food.

Europe and America operate very strict import controls ensuring that any badger hair brought into these countries is done with the legislative agreements being strictly adhered to.

The ecologists in both exporting and importing communities of badger hair have created a system preserving the badger, an important source of livelihood for hundreds of years in the Far East and ensuring that a small market does exist, creating valuable jobs in an industry which dates back to the time when wet shaving was first recorded.
