I've got a Semogue on the way as part of a multi item purchase.
What's your impression of the brush?
Which Semogue is it?Quote:

The loft and knot size are different from my 1350 so really can't say. That is why I was wondering which one you had specifically. I would give it a couple of weeks of daily use to really break in well before coming to any conclusions about it though.Quote:

Thanks!
Y'all just keep using them stiff, dry boar thingies.
For me, a proper brush is made from badger hair!
I mean really! Boar?
Hrmpfh.
;)
BobH is giving you good advice. Imo Boar hair brushes require a bit longer break-in period than Badger brushes.
I own both badger and boar and even a badger & boar mixture but I like my boar brushes better
My favorite brush is a 1dollar synthetic for a buck why not try it out. My pure badger is my least favorite and my most expensive Silvertip is my second favorite but uses a LOT more soap than the others especially the synthetic which takes by far the least soap as well.
