Thx for your compliments to the table and CD player.
I'm also considering getting myself a Semogue. Especially the wooden SOC like yours or the 1305. I like the colour scheme of the latter. Question about your SOC: is the lettering printed or engraved (like the resin)? I cannot make that up from any picture I saw so far.Nothing wrong with a boar brush. I really enjoy my Semogue Owners Club. The only break in I did was a test lather. After that I just used it normally. Great brush.

Looks like your plan is coming together my friend!My Proraso Pro boar brush as received:
Knot diameter = 28mm
Loft = 57mm
Height overall = 120.5mm
Handle diameter near base = 42mm
Handle diameter at waist = 36.5mm
Mass = 76g
After 7 three-pass shaves with this brush plus my breaking-in routine previously mentioned, the brush now looks like this:
So far, this brush has lost four hairs.
I do love that wood grain. Beautiful brush my friend!Nothing wrong with a boar brush. I really enjoy my Semogue Owners Club. The only break in I did was a test lather. After that I just used it normally. Great brush.

I give it a little Balistol when I oil my razor. The cherry has a nice sheen to it when oiled.I do love that wood grain. Beautiful brush my friend!
Teething pains. Shedding should slow way down. Make sure you are soaking the bristles fully to saturate with water each use. Still, a replacement every few years is not very expensive.Fourty-three shaves in now and this brush has shed 7 hairs in total (that I noticed). Not looking good to pass down this brush over a few generations.
Next week I will post some pictures after its 50th use.
