The Semogue brand has been creating accessories for the classic wet shave for over 65 years. Handmade brushes with a natural pile are the real pride of the family business. The 830 is the closest analog to the best-selling 1305, but with an acrylic handle.
Premium quality boar bristles are stiffer than badger bristles, but only when compared to the highest category Best or Super Badger. And when compared to the Pure category, only a professional can tell the difference in stiffness. A hand-tied knot with a diameter of 22 mm consists of 90% bristles of the same length (uncut).
Boar bristles have their own special features. It is less absorbent, so it dries faster than badger bristles. This advantage will be especially appreciated by those who prefer to use the same brush every day. In a day in a stand and in a well-ventilated room, the brush has time to dry.
Another feature of boar bristles is that they use more solid soap, so it’s more economical to use them with shaving cream. The Semogue 830 is equally comfortable on the face and in the bowl. The pronounced exfoliating and massaging effect makes every wet shave even more pleasant. After about a month of regular use, the shape of the knot will straighten out, the lint will fluff up and become softer. We recommend this model for men who often suffer from ingrown hairs.
