Thread: Omega 11137 + Semogue 2000 arrived !

New as they came right after the box.



After de-funking work plus little bit swirling with a soap in bowl
Was their first time,i haven't tested them in my face.





Soon i will post photos from each one
I am very happy with these Boars,i hope that will satisfied me in the future
I have anguish to see them in real action !

Give them time to break in and they will be like dream brushes to you.

I own a Semogue 2000 and it is a fantastic brush. I probably took a good half-dozen shaves or so bore the bristles to break in (i.e., get split ends) and soft up. Once you break it in, the brush is rock solid.

I also have the 2000 and prefer it to my Pro 49. I like the handle of that Omega you have.

Thank you my Boar comrades !



I have trust in Omega,very reliable brushes with no over-bloom knots
No problem with their plastic handles in some brushes but the 11137's is lovely.
My Semogue SOC is a nice looking but nothing special,i hope that with 2000 i wouldn't have the "3rd pass" problem.
The "break-in" period will last long because i have many brushes but i have patience.
Wooden handles are fine,little care with oils and they look fantastic.

i've been meaning to pick up a semogue boar brush. i've been recommended the owner's club, by the guy who does my honing.
i do have that same omega brush, which i do really like.

The SOC supposed to be great! I have the SOC badger and like it just fine, but it can be prickly. I need to get a horsehair Vulfix and see what is up.

In Greece we have a proverb: "Οπου ακους πολλα κερασια κρατα και μικρο καλαθι"
you can translate this as: "Where you hear a lot of cherries ,keep a small basket".

We have a saying as well here in the USA; it's all Greek to me. Lol sorry I couldn't resist.
