Semogue 2020 Shaving Brush (Best Badger Hair)

Post by LookingGlass »

Does anyone have one of these brushes? Semogues are my favorites; however, I have only boars. Looking to pick-up this badger.

Thanks,
Ed

Ed, my favorite brushes - in badger and in boar - are Semogues, but my 750 in best badger is my least liked and least used Semogue. I consider mine more correctly a variation of pure badger.

I think if you're going to do Semogue badger, you're better off to go all the way to silvertip, such as the 2015, or one of the two-banded models.

I lather in a bowl and I like the silvertip brushes in the standard line (730, 2015, and 2040). The less dense 740 in pure badger also lathers very efficiently.

Face-latherers tend to prefer the stiffer boars and the SOC two-banded models.
