Hi Gents,
Broke out the Mistura for the fourth time this morning with some Castle Forbes Lavender.
To sum it up, it's a beauty!
Very nice handle suited to small and large hande given the placement of the grip. The materials used are up to usual Semogue standards and are top notch.
The mix of badger and boar hair is pleasing as the density of the brush is great for whipping creams/soaps into a dense lather and releasing it during the shave. The combination of a slightly smaller knot, but equally slightly more dense one versus the SOC equals a brush with good back bone that gives a nice scrub as you massage the lather into the face.
Oh and if you must know the Lavender Castle Forbes is also top notch! One of the more natural lavender scents given the use of essential oils.
Overall a brush that has badger hair similar to a Simpsons Best combined with the premium hairs out of a SOC.
