Lets just say that they smell the same as the animal they came from.

But seriously, the Semogue 1305 is a fine brush as are many of the Omega brushes.

Skunks are closely related to badgers.

Boars are the best for me.
I have a dozen of boar brushes, including a custom made, some horsehair brushes, and I used to have 3 badgers, two of them have been given away, and one I still keep just to remember that I don’t like them.
Boar brush is like a Persia carpet, with time and use it gets better, softer but keeping the backbone strength, very soft at the edge and very gentle to the skin, but merciless to the soaps. Creams are also a piece of cake for them.
The only con is the smell when you buy it. I treat all my new boar brushes with continues lather making and holding for hours the first 3-4 days before I use them.
I love the Omegas and especially the Omega 48 Pro.
I am sure you will enjoy them.

They can be pretty bad

Well, the way I see it, the smell at the beginning might be the only Con, but it will go away eventually. So, I'll go for the Semogue 1305!

I bought an Omega boar brush about 8 months ago and ever since have found myself using it more than the others including my silvertip badger. Not as soft as the badger but I like the floppy old school feel of it and whips up a lather in a jiffy
