I have a $200, and a $100 silvertip, but my $20 dollar boars get the most attention.

The closest I've come to liking the boar brushes is the Vulfix, "Grosvenor" which is a mixed badger boar brush. It's a change, but IMO, the boar brushes just don't hold water or lather the way the badgers do. But as mentioned, whatever floats your boat...

I have Semogue Boars, Vie Long Horse Hair and different brands of STB brushes.. They all perform well. I seem to pick the STB more often for my shaves. The STB are the softest, hold the most water, heat, and lather.

Gentlemen,
I have trimmed my lineup of shaving brushes to two Thater custom two-bands. I have sent out a Burma Shave boar brush for re-knotting with a silvertip knot. My synthetics include Simpson Chubby 2, Plisson and Edwin Jagger XL. I especially love the Plisson synthetic. Then there are several boar bristle brushes that I bring out of retirement from time to time, including the Semogue Owners Club, 1250, 2000, 1305 and 830, and the Omega 81064. The boars are coming out this week.Last edited by Obie; 03-23-2015 at 03:10 AM.
