• Are all brushes not explicitly described as "imported" made in USA? Do you find the USA-made brushes to be meaningfully superior to the imported ones, in terms of performance and longevity of life?
  
  Also, what are the considerations for buying/using brushes with wood handles vs. plastic handles. I'm thinking mainly of the toothbrush-style brushes (though there are other types) where the same brush is available in both plastic and wood. I only have experience using such brushes with plastic handles. Aside from perhaps solvent resistance I can't think of any advantages or disadvantages to wood over plastic and vice versa. Is it primarily an aesthetic matter, or are there technical and performance considerations I'm missing? Thanks! – Hugh M.

  In the instances where we offer a domestic-grade and and import-grade version of a similar brush (for example with our Chip brushes https://www.solobrushes.com/products/chip-brushes/) the domestic version is considered highest quality. Regarding wood vs plastic handles, plastic would do better in a wet environment and is generally more economical. Thank you for your inquiry. – Solo Horton Brushes
