Unfortunately this guy has turned into a hack. His brushes are mostly NOT made in the US.
Source?
His own video of him sourcing and getting them manufactured.
He couldn’t get a decent price from US sources so he tried to source from India(?) or another manufacturing hub. After digging into sources they also turned out to be made in China. Because China is obviously the enemy here /s
He then basically said “oh well we’ll keep trying” while still selling his brushes at an absurd full price.
The video made me uncomfortable.
The point of the video isn’t that “China is obviously the enemy”, but to highlight how difficult it is to manufacture anything domestically today. China isn’t the problem, companies shifting all production to cheaper countries oversees to maximize profit in the problem.
The failure to find the chain highlights how bad the problem is. But they’re still selling a high quality not mass produced ready to fail product that should last a lifetime, and it’s mostly made domestically.
The video should make you feel uncomfortable because of the state of manufacturing domestically, not because they still made a product with one international part.
I don’t have it, and don’t plan to buy it for what it’s worth, but feels like you’re missing the big point.
I know China isn’t the problem, hence the “/s”
Nor am I qualified in any way to suggest any solutions.
What I did get is a bad vibe that wasn’t there before. And I immediately thought that there were a lot of things that could have been disclosed more clearly.
Maybe it’s also my fault for forgetting he is an entertainer first and foremost, and wants to earn money from his efforts.
They’re still a better design and they’re still built to last.
