Semogue 620 Black and Clear Acrylic Handle Dyed Boar Shaving Brush, 21mm

My first brush was a boar from the super market, so I decided to order an Omega 6215 silvertip badger brush. By the time I had ordered and received the brush from another site I was well into the enjoyment of face lathering with my boar hair brush. Therefore I tried multiple attempts with the badger brush to face lather and while it did OK, I missed the exfoliation I got from the cheap store bought brush. I finally decided to order a Semogue of which I had read astounding reviews for, and this brush is amazing! The tips are softer than I expected, but the backbone is still enough to both face lather and exfoliate. I had the best shave of my life with this brush. I'm sure it will only get better as it breaks in, but on a side note it only lost a couple of hairs during this first shave. The only con I can think of for this brush is the size of the knot. It's by no means a very large brush, but I cannot blame that on the brush or manufacturing though. I was scared to get a "floppy" brush with a bigger loft.

Similar to Semogue's 830, but a bit shorter. Dries overnight easily. Plenty of backbone! Creates great lather with hard soaps. Beautiful black/clear handle. Fine quality, not a shedder! Highly recommended. In fact, a 620/830 rotation would be grand. Buy both!

I just started face lathering and this has been the best choice of brush that I could buy. This brush is perfect in size and quality. Perfect for face lathering.

A very nice choice for face lathering. Great backbone and density! Handle is also cool.
