  1. Default Where can I buy the FUNKY Semogues?

    I have seen a few on this site but I cant find them anywhere online for purchase. One was painted like a barber pole, another was hot pink and yellow, and another was tie-dyed.

    Where can I find these brushes with some personality.

    Never seen a Semogue that fits this description, I've seen some Rooneys that look like that.

    I haven't seen the funky Semogues, only the Omegas.

    The Funky Pink & Yellow was a Penworks Best Badger I had picked up in February, he did have one in Silver-Tip but someone bought it last month.

    I have nearly 30 Semogues, a good part of them are vintage models no longer produced, and... none of them seem to fit your description!

    Are you sure you're not talking about the psychedelic Rooneys? :D

    Guess I was wrong. The barber pole was definitely that Omega and the pink and yellow one was also linked. Not quite sure why my brain filed those away as Semogues.

    Vintage Blades (or maybe it was Classic Shaving) carried some of the psychedelic Rooney's 2-3 years ago. Vintage Blades carried this one called Coral.

    T&H currently have some for sale here.

    LOL this was the first thread specificly asking for some funk. Usually it's more along the lines "... how do I get the funk out?"

    I discovered that when I googled "Funky Boar Brush"

    They are harder to find than you would guess.

    That Woodstock is EXACTLY what I want. Too bad it's out of stock, isn't boar and overpriced for a swap job.

    Anyone know what company T&H sources them from?

    T&H has one that looks like it. Do you know who made the handle?

    i contacted them a month of so ago, and they said they HAD the woodstock, but they did NOT updated the site...funny it shows OUT OF STOCK, but you can add to cart.

    keep in mind, many have said that even though it's listed as BEST hair, it is closer to PURE and will not be as soft as some similarly priced badgers (this is all hearsay, so YMMV)

    Yeah, I want a boar which means that I will have to swap the knot (which I dont know how to do) and will cost me a lot more than I wanted to spend on a funky brush.
