Nice example. I have that brush and other Semogue boars including the 1438 which has essentially the same knot. Great short-lofted boars that are perfect Monday morning face latherers.
May notnseem like much to some of y'all, but I'm stoked about it ! New to me Vie-Long brush. Won it in a PIF here. I had used the Cremo branded horse brush before, and really like it, so I'm excited to have a real one now. Thanks @Michael W !
another synthetic knot. This is a 26mm Hawk fan shaped knot. the loft for this knot was kept as high as i could. This one surprised me, by handling this knot dry and out of the handle I thought it was pretty stiff and had my doubts. it lathered MWF without problems had sufficient splay and provided an enjoyable lathering experience. i like this knot, YMMV. i tried to give the illusion of the old style painted (or glue) knot hole with this handle.
RR synthetic Best value on the market. Performs, looks good and very affordable. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
Restored vintage pewter Ralph Lauren (Safari Collection) brush. Replaced the original knot with a 22mm Finest (2 band) from TGHN and set at 50mm loft.
