Thread: Boar Brush Question

Owen,
The Semogue numbers are just model #s, but the 830 is the softest bristles, the 610 is he middle, and the 620 the firmest. All are great brushes, as are their wood handled ones ( 1305 being the softest, 1250/1470 being the middle and 1438 being the stiffest). The owners club is a whole other beast than any other boar brush, and takes a long time to break in, but is a heck of a brush once you do.

I like all the Semogue boar brushes, but I tend to like the medium stiffness bristle the best, I think.

I'm a fan of Boar. I find a nicely different performance than badger and its great to have/use both. I prefer boar for hard soaps and badger for creams. I'll echo soaking your brush in warm water for a few minutes before shaving. I've yet to find a soap that is a problem with a boar brush and when I haven't shaved for a day or two the extra bristle strength comes in handy.
Let us know how you like one when buy/shave with them.
Boar for face, ham and eggs for breakfast, pork chops for supper...what's not to like?
