Who first thought of shaving with badger hair? Like, who looked at a badger, didn’t think it was a skunk at first, and could see past its beady eyes, sunken ears, and menacing snout and think, “You know what? I’m gonna rub soap on my face with that thing?” I mean, I’m glad they did, because badger hair is the only kind of hair that absorbs water and so makes the perfect brush, but still. How many animals did they go through before they figured it out?
