I present you the new Semogue Limited Edition 2011 shaving brushes.
This time, Semogue has provided an array of shaving brushes for both boar and badger lovers. This LE lets customers choose between boar or badger hair and the size of the knot.
The boar knot is made of Special Grade boar, only used once back in the LE 2009. It has the same hair, with one dyed band. It's labeled Finest Bristle and has proven to be the top bristle available everywhere since 2009 and now it's back.
The badger knot is made of Finest Badger hair, a two banded hair from European badger (Meles Meles). This special kind of hair has been chosen because of its soft tips and strong backbone to load and lather any kind of soap or cream.
The handle of these brushes is also something unique. It was specially designed for this special occasion. Its vintage shape has been based on the first Semogue brush handles, made over 50 years ago. Its ergonomically enhanced shape provided comfortable grip and control of the brush. The material is also new, it's never been used in any other handle. It's a very strong and tough, marble-like black resin with some faint veins that give a classy and vintage look. As always, the base of the handle will have the Semogue LE signature - the brush number, the Semogue logo and the year of production 2011. On the bottom side of the handle, it will also be engraved the kind of knot it is - Finest Bristle or Finest Badger, and the size of it - size 1 or 2. Each of these 4 models will be numbered from 1 to 100.
With this new brushes, Semogue also presents you the new Semogue logo. The old Excelsior logo will now be deprecated.

Dipesh said:The knots look brilliant.
I'd change a few things, I'd stick with the old logo. That new one looks crap.
Also I hope the writing at the bottom of the brush is gone on the actual brushes for sale.
Otherways, quite nice!
Arrowhead said:Nice to see that "Special Grade" boar knot back again - the 2009LE was something out of the ordinary.
Marcel said:Vintagescent had them online right now! Pricing from euro €54,90 for the smallest boar, the biggest badger costs €99.90. Hmmm
