Drubbing said:I was into Semogues for a while, all but the 1305 were very disappointing; they all noodled out, that is go way too soft. All semblance of backbone disappears. They are very soft tipped, and I think the 'luxury boar', badger-type product is what they're going for, and the handles and build are very nice. But the way they flare them out in the knots, they're not as dense as they like to make out and this is what makes them flop. I got my 830 replaced and it's still a floppy dud. Omegas don't do this, they are quite vertically set in the knot, and their brushes retain a lot more backbone IMO.

Try only soaking the tips of the bristles, the first 1/3 maximum, instead of the all or the most part and you'll find it retains a lot more backbone! Also there's a few different kinds of boar bristle available,
Sorry about the off topic!
