Brush is ruined

I have had mine for about ten years. At some point, about 1/3 of the green paint had chipped/flaked of the part near the knot. But you know what? I don't care! I just stripped off the rest, dipped the handle in Danish Oil and now it has a natural finish. Same great brush, same great handle. Tips break in super soft, nice backbone and splays easily and controlably for a good scrub. Does everything well: hard soaps, soft soaps, cremes, bowl lather, face lather. Scrubs well, paints well, doesn't hog lather. The only thing it doesn't do well is dry quickly and it doesn't retain heat as well as a badger. Other than that it is probably the best brush you can buy for the $$. If I could have only one brush and it was free it might be this one. If the delicate paint bothers you, get the 830 (same knot, acrylic handle) or cough up the $$ for the cherry handle Owner's Club.

The 1305 has Semogue's second best class of boar bristles sharing them with the 820. (The SOC has the top quality Semogue boar.) The 1305 is slightly taller than the 830 and has a wooden painted handle. I prefer the 830 for face lathering, which is my standard. The shorter handle is more convenient, and the acrylic handle is more durable in case of drops. If I bowl lathered, the 1305 would be my more regular choice as it is taller and I like the painted handle, seems more "vintage". But if you drop the painted handle, chips will result, so be careful. Semogues in general are superior to Omega boars IMO. The Semogues do not stink as much out of the box, indeed not at all in my three examples, and they get softer quicker, with more controllable splay. Omegas by comparison do not splay as readily and are stiffer and firmer, so if you want exfoliation, get an Omega. If you want massage and the choice to easily splay or not, Semogues are better.

When I took this brush out of the box today, my first thought was, " Wow. I good scrape the paint off a battleship with this." It was tons stiffer than the Omega 10066 I purchased about a month ago and am still breaking in. Was I ever wrong. Washed it with shampoo and took the blow dryer to it. It immediately softened up, and the bristles split a good bit. I shaved with it afterward, and it was amazing. Great combination of backbone and softness. Splayed nicely and wasn't scratchy during my first shave. The Omega still doesn't splay without a good amount of pressure and still scratches. This is an excellent brush. And I don't think pictures do it justice. Love the painted handle, and it feels great in the hand. Used Arko today and got a ton of of super rich lather with this brush. Whipped up a little MWF tonight and will let the brush sit over night. Cant wait to use it tomorrow!

Customer review

Just bought this brush to rotate with my semogue 620. Washed it in dish soap then loaded it up with shave soap and set it aside to dry overnight to help break it in faster. Wow! Both my 620's took about 20 shaves to break in (did not break in like i did the 1305). The 1305 lathers great, splayed just fine and was not scratchy at all. After 1 shave, it has become my daily shave brush. It's a bit taller then my 620 which helps it splay and I was surprised how much I liked the longer handle. I watched a lot of videos and read the reviews on the 1305. The 1305 has lived up to it's reputation! If you want a boar hair brush, get the 1305!

Customer review

This is a very nice boar hair brush. It looks good and performs very well. I bought mine about 5 years ago and it has held up well although it has be sparingly used. The only problem with this brush is that the paint chips it you drop it. Over all impression, is that for the money, it works well.
