1st Semogue

Just received my new brush today...my first Semogue!

The well-known 1305. Congrats, it's a very capable brush.

A word of advice, though: avoid dipping the handle in hot water, or hitting it in the sides of the bowl (if you bowl lather), as the varnish tends to shatter. It's the only downfall of such a great brush!

Congratulations. I started with the 830, a similar brush and lost control from there.

Thanks for the heads up.

Congratulations on the new brush!

Great choice!

It'll break in beautifully and just keep getting better and better. Good tip about not immersing fully in hot water, just the loft - just back from the handle about a quarter inch or a bit less. It'll draw water in and the water level will lower a bit (in my experience). Then when you're ready, a wonderful water-soaked/ brush ready fro lathering with your favourite. Face of bowl lathering? With painted handles, I face lather because bowls tend to knock the handle a bit. Well I do, but being a bad workman, I'm blaming my tools

I got the same brush a few days ago. Enjoy!

Congratulations on picking up a fantastic brush. It was my first boar, and is still my favorite.

Semogue brushes are wonderful. You will love that brush! Congratulations!

An excellent choice. The 1305 was my first Semogue and first boar brush. Even though the handle looks like it has been through the wars it is still very much in my rotation; it is that good.

1305 is an excellent boar brush from semogue. enjoy it in good health !

Congratulations and happy shaves!

Nice! My first brush was not a Semogue (and it wasn't a durable brush at that.) My next three brushes were Semogue and each one has served me well. Enjoy yours!
