Fury every shave at loss of boar bristles !

[Burnsy]

I was wondering , is there a shaving brush which you've used or would recommend that doesn't shed? The Omega boar brush I'm using sheds with every use and on current trend should be useless in 6 months.

How many times have you used it?

Are you soaking it before use. As dry brittle bristles will break. I soak my cheap Omega 10066 or something like that brush while I shower, and apart from a few shedders when new it has not lost anything since.
It must be close to 7 or 8 years since I bought my brush.

How many times have you used it?

Almost daily over 2 years

Oh dear.....it's a long way past normal break in.

Yes,I've soaked it before use and it was bought , new, about 2 years ago.

I'm tempted to either buy a new Semague boar or ... go for a fully synthetic brush -Yaqui Sagrada familia- to replace the Omega boar brush which has been a waste of money.

Which model do you have? If you want to stick with a boar the Good fellas boars are good for around £7

Wish you hadn't posted that.....I want one!

I've used boars for years, the only shedder I ever had was a Van Der Hagen. I never soak mine, just dip in hot tap water and go.

I stopped using mine for the same reason. Move to synthetic would be my suggestion, some fantastic brushes out there. Semogue are excellent as well, in my opinion.

Synthetic is crap, numb and flicky, I'll never buy another.

The world has enough plastic, and boar is a better brush anyway.

Boar, boar, boar. Did I mention boar? Or what about boar? Hmm, maybe boar for a change?

Boar brushes rule! Unbleached, untortured, un-chemically treated, man brush! All the poofy softies be damned!!!
