I have the 830 and the 1800. Both are great brushes and you won't go wrong with either of them. I read a fair amount on Semogue brushes before purchasing and the 620 is also a very highly rated brush.
The 830 is regarded as the softest of the bunch and I can confirm this when comparing it to my 1800. If you're after a soft boar, this is probably the one to choose.
I've personally voted for the 1800 as I love the handle and the balance of backbone, softness and 'scritch'.
Thank you. would you say the 620 splays enough to perform a nice massage to the face, and the 830 splays totally flat like a well used badger brush?In my experience the 6 series are best if you face lather and don't want too much splay, if you want splay go for the 8 series.

This is amazing. Thank you very much.
Good find! Can't get much better information than that
1305
Smashing brush. Simple and to the point. The bristles break in really quickly with these brushes. Get an OC boar after that and enjoy breaking it in while you continue to use the 1305.
The 620 is what I ended up ordering. Of course, I'm pretty sure the others will follow at some point. But in the meantime the 620 seems to be the favourite amongst face latherers.830 is an 1305 with 10% more hairs if I'm not mistaken.
Personally I prefer the smaller lofts (50mm vs 55mm), so that means the 620, which is actually my current favourite brush.
It will get very very soft (but can take a long time to get there).
You're actually not the first saying that a semogue died after 2/3/4/5 years of use. I have lot older omegas that still performs like day 1 (of the break-in period). Nevertheless, I couldn't bare the weight of my curiosity anymore. Besides, that is probably one of the perks of owning more brushes. They should last longerI had a 620. Great face lathering brush, that eventually got soft and was a real pleasure to use, until it died after a couple of years use. It would kill the lather after the 1st pass. There's a thread here somewhere here that instructs on how to clean & revitalise brushes where this occurs, but after several attempts I gave up. Still worth buying for £15, I enjoyed & ultimately got vfm using this great brush.
