Bodger?

[Randomangle]

Any opinions on a good bodger? Potentially I may get a Vulfix 404 or the Semogue 2012 SE ... which one though? Also, are there any others out there worth a look?

Chris.

There is also the Omega Mighty Midget (11047) which is said to be very good. But it is tiny!

I had a Cyril R Salter bodger but it didn't get much use so traded it, a bit scratchy to my taste.

This is never simple is it ... :icon_rolleyes:

Vulfix 404 gets my vote

You want a bodger and are looking beyond a Vulfix 404?

Like scouring the internet for a new girlfriend while Zooey Deschanel sleeps soundly in your bed

I have been thinking of getting a bodger as well.

I really like the look of the Semogue.
Is the knot really that much better than the Vulfix?

Excellent analogy ... I think that's swung it!

Would I be right in thinking there are two versions of the 404? On the Vulfix site it's best badger for approximately £41, whilst I find on the Shaving Shack it's a mix for £10.99. Is the mix not listed on the Vulfix site for some reason - or am I missing something (again)? :huh:

There is a badger version of the 404 hence the price.

It's a great handle

Here it is on Amazon, best 11 quid you will spend!

I'm off to wake up Zooey now!

 

[Randomangle]

I will order one immediately!

404 all the way, once the bristles soften it's the only brush you need.

 

[Okeydokey]

I've been round the block in terms of brushes and will probably now order another 404, traded the last one for some stupid reason?

How is the lettering applied to the handle, will it wear off? That's one of the points that put me off the Semogue in that it has a sticker on it.

I've not inspected mine that closely, but I think it's inked into an etching, certainly feels slightly rough. Should give it some longevity, though I'd not swear to that. The ink though was slightly lighter than i was expecting and the writing smaller. There's more writing round the back too, opposite side the 'the grosvenor', can't remember what it says though..
