Thread: brushes, brushes, and more brushes

Should you choose Semogue (love mine), there is FINALLY a US supplier
Shaving Brushes - Semogue - Lee's Safety Razors

My 620 is on its way. Most popular is the 1305/830. I like to face lather hard soaps, so backbone is big medicine for me. When I saw Obie's review of the 620, that ended the question as to which one. Most prefer a softer brush - which the 1305/830 fills nicely.

A quick look at whipped dog - 'seems like a lot of brush for the $$.

Hello, Tcadien: Yes, that Semogue 620 is a good boar brush. Little thing. I still have mine and use it often. Another brush you might consider, for about $22, is the Omega No. 31025 (red handle) and its counterpart 31064 (black handle). I have this, a 26 mm. boar, I believe, and already it has become one of my preferred brushes. I have found many of the reasonably priced Omega brushes great for starters. Also, I have several Frank brushes that are good for the money. The silvertip is too floppy, though. Iantang's service is superb.

Just ordered a Semogue 620. Seemed like I would like a boar brush. I have a cheap wal-mart brand one that i could only assume is boar, or something comparable, and I like it, except it doesnt build lather well.

Personally I would suggest saving yourself 25.00 more in pennies and grabbing a Rooney 3/1 Super...It's a solid all-around brush.
