Boar surprise!! Boar content.

James in uk piffed me an omega boar brush and I took it to Wales on holiday.
It liked it a lot as it was wet. Brushes like the wet.
It's my travelling brush.
Anyhoo after a week I noticed it's gone really soft and lush at the ends. In fact it's nicer to use than my black badger. It's a bit floppy at the top but quite stiff (saucy brush!) for face lAthering.
It has a nice bright red handle too!! It did a great job with my jagger sea buckthorn today.
Thanks James. ThAnks TSR.

Yup boars are good. Use them every day so they stay a bit moist :? and then they are great latherers.

Another boar lover here. I have a Semogue 830 and a vulfix 404 (this is actually a mix). Both fantastic brushes, wouldn't be without them.

I really rate the 404, I think you get the best of both worlds with it.

Mmm, still sounds like going vegetarian to me. :?

Some how I knew I was a Boar man. I am a rather new DE shaver and I patiently waited for a Semogue 1305 to get from Ireland to Illinois! It is just what I wanted and is breaking in terrific. Stiff enough for the support and soft enough tips for luxury. I watched a ton of videos and some of the real fine Badgers just looked too floppy and moppy. Maybe I am wrong but I like a little more control.

I've been using a Semogue Owners Club boar for the last week and it's already great. Can't wait for it to be fully broken in.

Alright Tim,I'm glad you enjoyed using your boar brush and a bit surprised at the same time because I thought that was one of the scrubbiest brushes I've used :shock: ,how you finding the razor?I never had a chance to use it myself but being an open comb I would have guessed it's more on the agressive side,let me know how you get on :?

That's a bean brush, not a boar brush! :lol:

Have ordered Vulfix 404!!
I lather painting not circular style I don't know if this has taken the scrub out.
I have tried the razor. It worked quite well but because I had little experience I was a little timid.
I will have another go when I hAve tried my gold Nd shiny diplomat!!
Cheers
Tim.
