Talk:Shave brush

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This page is missing some important facts about badger hair, detailed at http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showpost.php?p=8469&postcount=5

I think some of the additional detail should be integrated into the article —Preceding unsigned comment added by Adamfield (talk • contribs) 18:45, 12 September 2006

[edit] Article NPOV, advertisement for lifestyle choice

This article is a direct re-edit from a 'classic lifestyle' sales website devoted to wet shaving. There's a link to the website down at the bottom of the article embedded along with a few other links. My NPOV criticism here is regarding the anti-synthetic/boar opinion, which is unsubstantiated, and like the rest of the article, without references or sources. In addition, there is nothing here regarding the sourcing of badger hair. I find this ironic, because the article goes on at length over the various properties and grades of badger hair, yet fails to mention how the animals are hunted, farmed, and/or killed and whether or not there are any environmental issues to consider. All of these failings add up to an article that violates all of wikipedia's stated guidelines for content (verification, neutral point of view, no original research). I would support the correction of these flaws if anyone has the time and inclination to do the work. Strike71 18:52, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] External Links

I've left one of the links, the rest weren't to anything specific to shave brushes. I'm very tempted to remove the last one as it is a link to a page of a vendor or (among other things) shave brushes, and something more neutral would be better. --Lijnema 08:50, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
