I got my show girl a new brush and I must say it is the BEST I have ever used! It's made by Chris Christensen. Its the "Gold Series" pin brush. I ordered the 8 1/2 long 27 mm pin rush for $34.00 from Cherrybrook. Cherrybrook tends to overpriced, I buy from them when I need things that I simply can't find all together, anywhere else. If you did an internet search, you might find the same brush cheaper.
The product number in the cherrybrook catalog is 13-100-20, 13-100-27, 13-100-35. The brushes, depending on size, range from $32 to $36.
Cherrybrook carries the entire line of Chris Christensen products including their less expensive pin brushes (I use the "Little Wonder" brush in the ring that's $14.00) Cherrybrook also sell a number of other less expensive brushes - for example, "Large Pin Brush" by miracle coat, 13-038 $7.50 and the "Scalpmaster" 13-038, $10.95. They also have a number of other high quality lines like "#1 All Systems," "Kent" and "Hindes." My experience with grooming products is that you get what you pay for.
