That sure is purty! Looks like a smaller loft than the 1305, which is something I want to try in a boar...
I think I ma ordering one of these today! The 1305 is a great all purpose brush, but the 1438 looks ideal for face lathering. Thanks for the pic. It has decided me!
Just remember if you don't like it; it's your fault (not mine) Looks like the price just jumped. I picked mine up @ Amazon for $13.30....what a steal. Price is now $15.69
I have the 1438, great brush! However, I warn everyone not to soak the painted Semogue handles because the paint will crack. Ruined a beautiful 1305 that way. Waiting for a Cherry handle SOC to arrive this week from Portugal. Can't go wrong with a Semogue!
It's weird with the painted Semogue brushes, it's called wet-shaving but keep the painted handle dry? What the??? They're still great brushes.................
My SOC 2 band came in on saturday. Cleaned and conditioned all night. Rinsed the night lather off in the morning and then could not wait any longer....went to lathering and a shave. Nice brush, mega lather, could have lasted for at least 5 passes.... no need. Dried and bloomed, cannot wait till 5:00 a.m. to testit some more.
