Semogue, or Zenith BEST BOAR?

[DesertIguana]

@DesertIguana if you really want to be a hog bloody boar pig for the rest of your life, just stick with omega boar brushes. Omega is stiff as a hog, soft and bloody scrubby and not just itchy or scratchy when it fully broken in.

Well Speedy the News is got me a BADGER, it was a PIF from your Old Hangout B n B. Remember were you were banned for being Naughty Boy, Crazy PISS DRINKER......

Whipped Dog - Silver Tip Badger Brush - 24 mm Knot, & 56 mm Loft, looks like a Bloody Badger BLOOM.

Looks like a mop, but it was free.

What do I know ? Not a badger Expert! But it works well. It is a Lather Hog, It like lots of CK-6, and require more soap then I normally USE!

The positives are the Lather is like Whipped Cream, Soft, Dense, Moist, Wetting Beard Well, and last proves Slick Shaving Surface.

I have one Shave with it, and in my World I am happy. That is important to me being Happy.

Right observation it is a Big Fluffy Knot.

So, what did you buy in the end @DesertIguana?

I want to add a new boar brush to my rotation. I currently have the Omega Jade, but it's still shedding even after eight shaves. Zenith brushes are on my radar now. I've owned three different Semogue SOCs, so I know those really well, but I’ve only ever had one Zenith brush, the one I mentioned earlier in this thread. Do you have any recommendations on which Zenith model I should consider?

p.s. I face lather only, so I don't really like huge lofts.

I have owned 2 bleached and 2 unbleached boar brushes by Zenith and am partial to the 506U XSE. Knot dimensions are listed at 27/56. I face lather also and find it to be a great proportioned knot.

ZENITH unbleached bristle olive wood handle 506U XSE

This barber shaving brush is made of unbleached natural bristle hair Its hair is thicker and stronger than badger hair but not as flexible as this, so it can be considered a daily use brush suitable for all types of soaps and shaving creams, but where it behaves best is with the hardest soaps...

Boar Brushes

These are the brushes that started it all. The softest boar brush that you'll find. You'll think it's broken-in out of the box. Yet it's not. It will only get softer with use as the tips split. (My original Zenith in the center, with an Omega and modern Zenith)

Thank you! As I mentioned before, I had 507 unbleached, maybe this time I’ll try 506 or any other handle with the unbleached knot.
