No Marco, they're different oils but basically do the same thing. Boiled linseed oil is usually better/easier to use than the raw linseed oil. Danish oil could be grouped in with stuff like Tung oil & Teak oil.
Just a quick tip Marco, when using linseed oil, especially raw linseed oil, it's a good idea to mix maybe 46/60 or even 50/50 with mineral spirits. This helps the oil to penetrate the timber. Danish oil is used mainly internally for furniture.
I ordered this brush from Shaving.ie in Dublin, Ireland, on Monday, 22 August. Would you believe it arrived in this morning's mail, 25 August? That is from Ireland to my doorstep in Canada in 4 days and I paid only €4 in postage. Obviously it flew through Canada Customs, but still this is truly amazing. I ordered an item from Vancouver last Friday, 19 August, and although it was mailed that day I still haven't received it in Toronto. I buy a lot of stuff in the USA and the norm for first class airmail is 2 weeks. Why does stuff get from the UK/Ireland/ the Continent to Canada so much faster? I suspect USPS is the culprit. Back to the brush: this is my first Semogue badger, but I do own an SOC boar, which I really enjoy. I palm lathered it three times with Leonhardy brush soap in preparation for its first drive tomorrow morning; I'm really looking forward to tomorrow morning's shave when I get home from the gym.
Lovely colours
Beautiful brushes.
