"Classic" Semogue - which brush?

[mftoms59]

Yeah, I know. But I am unemployed, and lately SWMBO has been keeping a pretty close eye on the shave den.

Why won't Semogue just do it?!

Is the RV you are referring to the "Green Lantern"? (That one was burned into my retina's for a week!)

Correct & thanks...I think.

The 2000 is beautiful, whether classic or not.

the handle is a classic, but boar should not look like fake badger--this is simply wrong, no excuses. i submit this as an alternative:

SOC in ash.

Bruno is spot on with the chips coming from drops onto hard (i.e., ceramic tile) bathroom floor but I cannot say I subjected the 1305 handle to hot water immersion. No brush of mine gets soaked deeper than he bristles.

Hi gents,

The 1305, being a hand painted wooden handle, doesn't provide the same kind of durability has a plexi handle.
Apart from chipping when dropped into hard surfaces like the floor or sink, some customers have damaged this great brush by exposing it to hot water on the knot area.
See below two pictures of a perfectly fine handle next to a damaged one that has been drowned into hot water. Needless to say that the knot was also damaged:

That's certainly my take. I just don't understand it in this day and age.

Indeed. Lovely pic, BTW.
