Cheap Trick
I went to open one of these and found that the new ones have the rows crammed together with what looks like a lot less bristles. I've been using these for over 10 years and the old ones filled the wood with the 4 rows and were well made. The rows on the new one are half as wide making the very difficult for carding operations. I won't buy any more of these.
