Thread: Jaguar Τurkish Boar shaving brush

Why did you buy it? One look and I'd have walked right by.

In Greece we say "η φτηνεια τρωει τον παρα"
Can be translated "the cheapness ruins your money".
For 16.99 $ is a lot of money for this crap,even an Omega of 5 euro looks "perfect" compared to this brush.
I bought it because of his knot shape mainly
In the photo i couldn't see those problem that i saw latter
Is this my fault ?

I'd say yes and no. You can get an Omega boar for $8 here in Canada and I know they're good brushes. Why would I buy something I know nothing about when there's other options.

But, I say good for you for trying something new. It is to bad it showed up looking like that. If I were you I'd complain.

Have you used it?
Do you like it? Pluses/minuses on performance.

Of course i have use it
Here are some photos from the first shavings.










I can't say it's well broken-in and maybe his performance will improved
The handle is bad looking and slippery
Although i have the soap for long time ego and tested with many brushes as you can see the quality of the lather isn't good.
The shape of the knot attracted me to buy it and have it in my collection but it's mounted crooked.
With another handle and some shavings more maybe i will have better results but i can not guarantee that.

Yes, boars need broken in or a little experience before they give their best. I'm on a boar kick at present
always interested in other's experiences/opinions.

I have now 5 Boars in rotation although i have tested some more
This brush must be the No 1 in defects (no shedding).
