Go to Discount Art Materials from Jackson’s Art Supplies and purchase a 'Badger Fan brush' Series 602 .
This has all the fine hair you are likley to need for tails ect.

I performed electrolysis on me wombat just this morning. Plenty of factor 30 for the chap tomorrow - the forecast is good.

If your not in a rush Jon, I can get you some, we usually have a dead badger here once a fortnight.
I'll shave a load off the next fresh roadkill I find.
Tell me which bit you require.

Far too many according to some AW.
I think the go ahead has been given by the government to start culling them in certain areas due to the spread of TB in cattle.
