Semogue "Semogue Owners Club" Boar. Cherry handle
Semogue brushes IME don't need much break-in. For others I like to use the rapid break-in w/ ice water method.I'm really liking this brush!! I may have another (orange resin SOC) on the way from Connaught. I pushed the buy button too soon on my phone when we were in the desert last weekend. Bought from UK, then found it in the US. Oh, well. Last purchase from UK during pandemic took 1 month exactly. We'll see how long this takes.
By the way, if you haven't already seen it, there's an excellent boar brush primer available at several of the internet fora. It's prolly 10 years old posted by a guy named Zach. Called something like "a beginner's guide to boar brushes". I found it useful and refer to it often. Good reference for breaking in boar brushes, etc. YMMV.
