The only piggy I have at the moment is the Omega Pro49

This brush was recommended to me when I first started DE shaving.
It is now beautifully broken in and whips up a lather in seconds.
I find it great for bowl and face lathering and it is a fantastic brush to use when starting out.
Very forgiving and cheap as chips[/QUOTE
My boar collection (only small) started with a O49! Try the Semouge 2000, you will love it
Think you are getting there. Good start.View attachment 26814

Vulfix 404 Grosvenor - Mixed badger and bristle knot, superb handle.
Omega Pro 48 - First boar brush and not really used it. Don't like the chrome handle
Semogue 830 - Lovely face lathering brush
Omega 10015 - Cheap and cheerful, great little brush
Omega 40033 - Great little travel brush, most recent boar brush.
Omega 50068 - Bambino brush, very good for face lathering.
Omega 11126 - Love the handle on this one, perfect for use with Cella.
Omega 20102 - Same knot as the one next to it, had to remove the sticker, ruined the aesthetic
Omega 10098 - My favourite boar brush, possibly my favourite brush.
Omega 11047 - Mixed Midget. Mixed boar and badger, unfortunately it is a shedder but I have a replacement on its way to me.
How's the Jaguar 2003?
Thanks, Alexander. Think I'll stick with my Semogue 2000. No need to feel ever more inadequate.
It`s big...sooo huge.
The Jaguar 2003 is really huge and produces tons of lather in seconds.
Got less backbone and therefore performs best with shaving creams and soft soaps.
You`r wellcome Billy.Thanks, Alexander. Think I'll stick with my Semogue 2000. No need to feel ever more inadequate.
I like your style, bulk buying while there's a deal on, it's not like they are going to go out of fashion, I like the two on the rightI opened a commode in which I also put some shaving stuff and found this...

Maybe it is time for visiting some group meetings ... Hi, my name is Floid_Maniac and I am an addict ... Hi Floid_Maniac ...
I love the look of the painted handle Semogues but have read they suffer with the paint flaking off, any truth to that? I'm sorely tempted to grab a 1305.
Not really. My 1305 has some chipped paint but that's only because I've dropped it once or twice. The paintwork on these brushes is fine.I love the look of the painted handle Semogues but have read they suffer with the paint flaking off, any truth to that? I'm sorely tempted to grab a 1305.
So do I, great link, thanks. I will have to ask the price on a boar in one of their better handles.
Look after it, ie don't drop it and the paint isn't going anywhere.Wow, the layer of paint is actually quite thick. I don't mind if it comes off due to my own carelessness but I had read reports of it just flaking away in a matter of months with normal use... If thats internet nonsense I'll order one up, for the price even if it lasts just 12 months I wouldn't be too sore.
