Anybody seen this

I've heard about hooked/gel tip badger hair brushes but this is my first.

Seems brushes with these characteristics are showing up from all manufacturers these days. Some view them as defective and others as divine. Personally I really enjoy using brushes with them.

I enjoy Miso soup but hate those translucent noodles

have one single solitary gel in my entire collection.  don't know why there aren't more.  Kav is so right on the damn noodles.

I'll politely differ on the glass noodles. My favorite thing ever with them was a cold Vietnamese dish with pork and shredded carrot.

So, what brush is that?

One suspects that you are thinking of しらたき (sirataki: shredded konnyaku, derived from yams) rather that 春雨 (harusame “spring rain”: made from rice flour).

Is there a consensus on whether this is a result of "over-treating" the hair or a natural phenomenon?

Those tips are quite gelly.

Its a 24mm HW

Most definitely a gel-tip. Congrats. They require a bit more care but are fantastic knots.

What kind of care?

I wasn't even thinking, never learning the two names. My japanese nieghbor just gifted me fifteen pounds of rice and seaweed for sushi making and shared they are returning home next month after retiring

Gel tips are created by treating hair, they do not occur naturally. But they feel great!

Nieghbor kid gells his hair colored with jello. I'll take my badgers straight up, no chaser.

What other brush makers have this kind of hair?
