Here's some photos of a recent acquisition: a Semogue EL 2009 with boar bristles and a cherry wood handle, #35/100.
I really like shaving brushes with handles made in natural materials, like wood or horn, and this ones (and the SOC, that are very much alike) are perhaps one of the prettiest wooden handles made by Semogue. I tried to enhance the natural grain of the wood, that makes this brush, IMHO, one of the prettiest ones ever made my Semogue.

Thank you Murray!
The LE2011 features a special resin handle, and the knot is as close as this one as you can get, but the price is somewhat steep.
The logical alternative is the SOC boar, but it features an wooden handle, and that seems to be something that you don't want.
I would look for the 820 or 830 models - they both feature acrylic handles, and both are good options, according to you preferences. The 830 will be softer, but the 820 will have a little more backbone.
