I know I'm new but I wanted to share my great news with someone who would appreciate it! My wife sure doesn't! I'm hoping to get it next week!

Bet you'll love it. While I don't have that particular Semogue, of the five that I have, there isn't a bad one in the bunch. :mrgreen:

Hey Hat, Great news !!!
If you get a chance, post some pics. when it arrives.
Congratulations and enjoy !

Congratulations on your new purchase but don't expect it next week unless some miracle occurs. Bruno at Vintage Scent ships at "value" level and with the world in a tizzy over the terrorists that want to send us all back to the 7th century, Customs has been doing its level best to behave like the bureaucrats they are.

Oh come on Tony, I think your being a bit hard on Bruno. After all, many of us got our Semogues within the first 12 months of ordering !

Yeah! You are probably right but one can hope! It shows shipped as of 6/13/11. I also got in on the Semogue Caravela Limited Brush. It shows as being shipped as well! It's half boar and half badger! I will post pics once I receive them! Life is goood! :spin:

I just got my SOC 2-band last Friday (Boston MA area). That's only 2-weeks post ordering. The package was also in good shape. That's a speed record for Bruno for me. The brush is also a top-notch performer.

Good one Andy!

You are going to love it and Bruno is a class act and really cares about his customers and is a small businessman with outstanding contacts at Smogue. I have two of the LE badgers and the SOC boar. He is fully engaged in our hobby? passion? pursuing the perfect shave. Doug

He may have been so busy caring about his other customers that he forgot to tell Semogue enthuisiasts here at the SOC - DFS site about the new Semogue Caravela LE Boar/badger mix brush available for 30 Euros. from his website. ( US $43.00+ shipping.)- The brush was made "in collaboration" with two Spanish shave sites.

Knot : 24mm
Loft : 51-52mm
Handle : Acrylic faux tortoise shell, 52mm height.

Andy:
the Caravela brush was originally designed for the members of the portuguese forum barbearclassico and the members of foroafeitado.
At the end 100 brushes have been made since we were around 70 people from both sites willing to buy the brush,plus other members that could join this offer later.This is why Bruno never announced it here and either at other shaving boards,but the ones involved in this project.

I saw that brush on the Portuguese Forum but the spanish to english translation only worked on some of the posts and not all. My Spanish is very poor these days and especially the written Spanish and it has been too many years since I dated a Portugese lady in Miami for me to remember any Portuguese. So, I gave up on the Forum. Also, Bruno's Caravela Brush is in Spanish and does not translate even though the rest of the site does. Probably just my lousy computor skills of trying the wrong things and tiring of downloading the translators

Hey Teiste, Is it true that Bruno is writing a book titled "How to win friends and influence people" ?

Portugese Lady ????? ...... Miami ????? ..... Now that sounds interesting !

The following is a Google translation of Bruno's site :

Caravela Semogo
€ 30.00
This brush is a joint project of two Iberian shaving forums, and Forum Clássico Barber Shave.
The brush has the following features:

Finest badger hair blend bristle with 90% tops. It will be a two-sided, since the dye will bristle at the bottom, leaving the white tips, as you can see in the picture.

24 mm knot.
Height of hair between 51/52 mm.
Pile height between 51/52 mm.
Handle height 52 mm.
Mango acrylic faux tortoise shell.
Sticker "Excelsior" on the side of the handle and the next in the base of the brush.

Portugese Lady ????? ...... Miami ????? ..... Now that sounds interesting !

Actually it wasn't but as we get old everything takes on importance and sparkle.....so in my dreams.

Thanks for the translation and the brush sounds like a great deal for that quality of brush. regards, Doug
