So you have sold this one too!! :shock:
What are you left with? Are you using brushless creams now ...
PS I did use some Shavex brushless cream this morning for the first time and was actually very impressed. Not super close or fun but very respectable and zero irritation

I don't want to bash Semogue or their brushes. They are well made (largely) items with a fun, retro appearance.
What I don't like though, is all the hype getting in the way of any form of objective opinion on these brushes.
Personally, I find the LE overpriced for what it is. It's a nice boar brush, no doubt, but worth £30? I'm not sure. You are paying for the exclusivity, not the materials and workmanship, IMHO.
It's a nice boar brush, and yes, it is dense with very soft tips (for a Semogue). However, you can get the same softness from the Omega 49 or 10005, at a fraction of the cost.
I loved the brush when I got it and it was certainly beautiful to look at. However, I found its knot too big and it did hog the lather somewhat.
Please no flames - but I think it's time that all this Semogue hype died down a bit. Some perspective please!

I'm learning a lot about this business right now and will have a few things to say about brush prices when I start writing about the various makers and brands in my brush blog. We live in a fast changing world.
