    Default Jaguar Τurkish Boar shaving brush

    I bought this Boar brush from a turkish store
    It's a Boar brush,no trick with words this time
    I have been told that i will face some problems as glue in the base of the bristles but i had to figure it out myself
    Guess what,the same happened to me,my brush has glue overflow and some other problems in the handle.











    The shape of the handle is good but has cheap lacquer on
    I can not do anything for the glue in the bristles and the ring is not alignment correctly
    A re-handle work soon will follow.

    Well, if you said it cost a buck or two it might be worth it just for the puck.

    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).

    Boars perform best for me. They load up more soap. The scritch is not a factor if you bowl lather. By the time the brush gets to your face, it is so cushioned with lather, that the stiff bristles are not felt. My favorite is the Semouge 620.
