Here's my latest acquisitions from Semogue! One is the Semogue Owners Club in finest and the other is the limited Caravela that's half boar and half badger! Both real nice brushes. I think the Caravela is going to be my favorite! Will be giving it a try tonight!

Harry, I'm really looking forward to your thoughts on the Caravela.

Ditto what Freddy said !

Congrats. on the new brushes Harry !

I'm also particularly interested in what you think about the Caravela....( Great name for a brush IMO ! - reminds me a bit of the Santana album Caravanserai.

Do you own a Vulfix 404 by any chance ?

Andy, I do own a Vulfix 404 and I was thinking along the same lines...perhaps a comparison. I really like the 404 so it would be interesting to see how the Caravela and it stack up against each other.

Trying to post pics but have been unsuccessful! Maybe because I'm trying to do it from my iPhone!

The only other boar/badger mix brush I know of is a Wilkinson, it would be nice to have a little round up of all available......now where is that emergency money I can tap into?

Emergency money
Yeah guys, I think the comparison would be a top idea. ( I also have a V. 404)
Now it's just a matter of one of us ( Harry we're looking at you ) buying all three for the comparo !

Gary do they still make the Wilkinson mixed hair brush ? ( I havent heard any mention of them for years. )

Alright gentleman! Here's some pics of my latest additons. The Caravela is a fantastic brush. Best of both worlds for me! A little scrubbinest, great backbone, with the badger for added softness. The brush performs well! The first time I used it I face lathered. Had to go back to the soap once. Don't think I loaded long enough. A bowl test lather was done and found it previded enough lather for 3-4 good passes. I haven't used the SOC finest yet. Compared to the Caravela it has less backbone but more than my Rooney Heritage Stubby 2 (3) band. I may get the SOC in about a month. Really like the Caravela that much![attachment=0]

Harry, the Caravela sounds like a great brush.

Very nice. Congrats. I hope you enjoy them!

Harry, thanks for letting us know about the brush, looks like quite the gem.

This is the only place I've seen them..

Thanks for the link Gary !
At around $21.00 it looks interesting for sure.

Sorry Harry, I didn't mean to hijack this thread it's just that mixed badger/boar brushes are pretty rare.
Great looking brush that Caravela, thanks for the pics ! - how long did they take to arrive ?

No specs given for the Wilkinson and IMO it won't win any beauty contests, but still.....

I failed to wait for the barrel handled SOC, there's a Caravela on the way.

I believe you will like it! I know I do! YMMV!
