I believe this is a FS Frank Shaving Finest Badger class. The hair quality is soft, and the knot is thick, approximately 20mm. It should last for a considerable amount of time. The manufacturer's price is around $80. Some color fading may occur when first used. As it breaks in, it will provide the best shave. This is a display item from our glass case. It's a clearance item, being replaced due to cleaning the glass case.
