I have over the years tried many different shaving brushes with boar bristles. I’m not fond of them, except one: The Semogue 1305.
Some time ago I bought a brush from the Portuguese manufacturer Semogue, and I must say — I really like it!
The brush is, as are all boar brushes, stiff when dry. But having been in the water for a few minutes this brush gets much softer than any other boar brush I’ve tried. When it is wet it reminds me of a horsehair brush (Vie Long) — but it is of course still stiffer than a badger brush.
A very good brush that I would recommend to those who want a brush with good elasticity/”spring” in the bristles, but not too stiff.
Semogue 1305
- I’ll leave it in water for approx. 5 minutes
- It makes great lather (this is from a Musgo Real classic soap)
- Hang to dry after use
It’s a shame you don’t have a donate button! I’d most certainly donate to this excellent blog!
I guess for now i’ll settle for bookmarking and adding your RSS feed to my Google account.
I look forward to new updates and will share this site with my Facebook group.

Thank you very much. But since this blog is a hobby, I do not want to ask people for money.
But it is possible I have to think of a way to fund it if I decide to put more work into it:-)
