I was bored, took some pictures this weekend, and decided to share some shots of my only boar brushes.
Let's see your boar brushes!

Nice! Look how much different the Semogue 2011 LE looks from above. Noticebly finer bristles. Does it feel that much different in use?

No, not really. I used the Semogue along with the M&F in the past week and I don't remember one being scritchier than the other. I'll have to do a comparison later when I'm paying closer attention to the two.

I had no idea M&F made a boar. Thanks for posting that. That Omega is an excellent brush, as well.

The more, the merrier! I noticed that boar brushes don't get a lot of attention. Boar brushes are an excellent value for the price. I got the Omega for $12. Originally Posted by brucered

Those are nice. I've read great things about the Semogue SOC brush, the boar and the badger. Originally Posted by arm017

like you said on the M&F boar for $16...the SOC Boar for $30 shipped, it's a no-brainer. Originally Posted by AABCDS

I was the second guy trying for the brush. Michael said I just missed it, man you were fast. I thought I got it. ( so did Brucered ) Originally Posted by brucered

Love the brush handle.

That was my first boar brush and I enjoyed using it. It hasn't seen a lot of use lately though due to my SBAD. Originally Posted by Mike'sWorld

You guys're making me curious about the SOC boar and how it compares to the LE2

Wow. Looks great. Are those all brand new? They look like they just came out of the box? Originally Posted by edgerunner

to me they are very comparable in feel and performance. if i had to pick one, it would be the LE2, just for the handle. Originally Posted by edgerunner

SOC:
overall height: 115.84

Thanks. This photo was taken when 1305 and LE2 were completely broken in. The rest (830, 1800, 1250, 31064) had about 5 dry/wet cycles and were starting making some decent lather. I want to use the opportunity to give well deserved praise to the Omega. It's really soft and lucturious, and complements the Semogues well. Originally Posted by arm017
