Antica Barbieria Colla vs. Zenith: Battle of the Barbershop Boar Brushes

That was an excellent, straightforward, and honest review, NeoXerxes ! Thank you for your time and effort!

Thanks much Rob! I enjoyed writing it .

I will be adding a B1 to my stable.  I only own a couple of very good Semogues, but this could be a regular in my rotation.

Do let us know what you think! The Semogues are nice but these are my favorites.

Will do for sure.

You... Enablers...

Ordering now!

Unbelievable!!! Just placed my order and already received an email with the tracking number...

Thank you for such an expeditious processing, Michael!!!

Received my B02 Boar today. Looking forward to using it in the morning.

Thanks for the review. I am still on the search for the perfect boar brush. Didn't like Semogues at all and Omegas are alright. I definitely prefer badger but I would like to have at least one of every type of hair. I will be selling my Omega 31025 and grabbing one of these.

I received my B02 Zenith Boar yesterday and took it for it's maiden voyage this morning. I decided to use Mystic Water Lime as the soap to give the new brush a good challenge. A couple of things were clear up front. The Zenith is very soft out of the box and had no new brush odor. In fact the Zenith felt much better on the face than my well broken in Omega 49 knot. The Zenith B02 made short work of lathering the MW Lime soap. The quality of the handle is very nice and felt good in the hand. I am pleased with the purchase and think the B02 represents a very good value.

Nice, congrats on your purchase. I had the Razorock brush, which is a rebranded Zenith. Those brushes have a 26x64mm knot. It's a nice brush with soft tips but I also purchased a Zenith with 26x57mm knot because I was looking for a scrubbier brush. I only had a chance to use the 26x57 knot once, but so far I'm very happy with it.
