    Default Boar brushes x 2 PIF

    I'm looking to PIF a pair of boar brushes.

    1. THE semouge 1305, I've owned it over a year, and is fully broken in an ready for action!!! Great brush! It does have a small chip on the bottom of the handle, but not that bad. Hasn't caused me a problem.

    2. Shave Factory (Jaguar rebrand) small boar brush, I've had it maybe 10 days now, and it's a good sized brush (bigger than the 1305) but I have the large model on order now, so I wanna pass it off to somebody who will use it! Used it maybe 3 times, but have been proactively breaking it in with test lathers, but she's far from broken it, but it's soft tips and makes tons of lather.

    I will be PIF'ing these together as a set, CONUS only.

    I would prefer these go to a person who owns a lower quality boar like a Vdh or equivalent and looking to upgrade. Prefer a newer shaver, but will also consider a more seasoned b&b'er too, granted they don't already own these models for PIF.

    RULES:

    Simple, first 5 members to chime in, And that meet the criteria of the PIF , will each have their names drawn out of a hat or bowl or something, as soon as the 5 person qouta is met. (and when I have time;)

    I will PM and announce the winner on this thread. I will ship these brushes out via USPS mail at my convenience.

    Thanx and good luck!!!

    Tried to download pics, but using iPhone, I just attached a gmail pic link, hope it works.

    I would like to be included, please. I only have a VDH Badger (cheap one that comes with the kit) and my friend has really been advocating a Boar Brush.

    Thank you

    I would love a chance to try another brush. I have a VDH boar brush that's shedding worse than my dog. I keep having to stop shaving to pick hairs out of my razor. I've read that all brushes shed some in the beginning but I've been using it for about a month and it just seems to be getting worse. Is this normal? or are VDH brushes just crap?

    Please include me. My first brush was a vehicle boar and while it felt good after a while, it turned me off to boars. I replaced that brush with another lower end boar (no name) and had similar results.

    If I win I will PIF from my collection. Check that, I'll PIF regardless.

    I believe your quota has been met but I'll throw my 2 cents in. I'd love to be considered if I'm not number 6, lol. I am not new and have only used a VDH. I have heard a lot about this 1305 and would love to try it.
    Im on a phone so I am not sure if I counted right, lol. Have a great day!

    Your welcome Rancurt2, I'm glad they are going to a good home!!!' it would be a shame if they stayed here and collected dust IMO. It would be shave brush negligence, a class b felony.
