Semogue 1800 Bristle Boar Shaving Brush

This is my first Semogue shave brush and will not be the last. What a well made and nice looking brush. Replaced my third Wilkinson Sword brush with this having looked on the net and gone for a better but not exorbitant shave brush, the Semogue 1800 falls in this category. I build up a lather on the soap, I use Figaro soft Italian soap, build a lather really easily and holds a good dob of soap for at least 3 or 4 passes on the one load. The old brush needed a lather up each pass from the same soap, wow, more later, less soap used. A firm boar brush with a softening top end with each use, feels great on my face. If you are thinking Semogue, this is a great value and great quality brush.

Once broken in this brush is amazing, the softness with the perfect balance of backbone is a real treat to use. The handle is of great quality and is one of the most comfortable styles I've ever used. Highly recommended.

I just ordered my second 1800. In all honesty, the first one (the very first shave brush I ever used) separated from the handle after about seven months of daily use on my face and head with multiple passes. I tried to glue it back, but I unfortunately used an expanding glue and ended up ruining it. I had to use a cheaper store bought brush until I decided to order a Perfecto brush from Amazon with thousands of reviews. Well, the store bought brush became loose after a couple of weeks, but by then the Perfecto with the black plastic handle came in. I'm still using the Perfecto, which sheds daily, and after another round of research and review reading, I decided last week to re-order the 1800. Using the other brushes gave me a chance to experiment and rate my experiences with other brushes. The other brushes made me realize how unique and effective the 1800 is. I've been DE razor shaving for a little over a year now. I shave my face and my head daily. I now know that it's probably best for me to stock my "shave den" with multiple brushes so that I don't wear out a single brush, and I am convinced that I will stay with the Semogue family of shave brushes. If you are surprised that I am rating it 5 stars despite it having failed, keep in mind that this is a shave brush, not a tank. It was well worth the investment and I can't wait until the next one I ordered comes in. If I had paid $370.00 for it, this might be a different review! Having used cheaper brushes, I can say without reservation that this is a high quality brush AND an extreme value for the price. If you are going to use it to shave your face and head on a daily basis with multiple passes, then learn from me and invest in multiple brushes. I'm trying to decide now on which wood handled Semogue I am going to purchase next.

Exactly what I expected Good quality and good feeling
