Thread: Ok, color me stupid, but...

What the heck does two band mean? I searched the forums and wiki and seemed to come up dry as to what it actually means.

Thanks in advance...hopefully I gave some folks a good morning laugh

Hehe, there are no stupid questions man, only those never asked

Here's a thread that deals with exactly the same question - I think you'll find your answers in there.
Take care.

It's a concert with two bands playing. Kind of a duel of the bands, per se.

There is a technical explanation and a popular one. The technical one is a brush with two bands of color-har har. Actually it means many things. It refers to older brushes that are not available anymore whose hair came from a limited parcel of hair only some badgers had during limited times of the year. This naturally had two color bands and had very specific physical characteristics vis a vis lathering and feel.

These days brushes are dyed to have two bands and there are inferior brushes with two color bands produced by badgers. (Global warming I guess).

It gets complicated.

Thanks, guys! I'd kinda come to the conclusion that it had to do with the colors but I figured it just HAD to be more than that

OHHHHHH! Like that slashing heads scene between Ralph Macchio and Steve Vy on the movie Crossroads!!!!!!

As long as we are talking about badgers, what I have always wondered is: Who shaves the badger to get its hair?

The only way to cut the hairs from a badger is to kill it first
You do not wanna go near a live badger with a razor...
Fierce creatures, badgers.
