Nice brush!

What's the size of the knot? Pictures can be deceiving, but it looks close to 26?

DecemBoar 5th

aaaaannnnnnnnddddddd....................

the debut of the Semogue 830!

Much has been written about the 830, and I think the best parts are true! This is the second of two brushes bought new for DecemBoar, the other being the Galahad that I used yesterday. Both were pretreated by me at the same time, with daily soaks (5-10 minutes) followed by hand lathering for another 5-10 minutes. Both are 22mm knots, per the website info from Maggards. But this one is softer, more broken in feeling. It has a ways to go yet, but I think this is a winner. Held lather for a good 3 passes, but was getting stingy on the 3rd pass and I had to coerce it a little!

That 830 will round into shape nicely - the blonde C3 Galahad is a beauty too and mine is coming along nicely.  I have the C3 in the banded boar as well and I had hoped it was the same know as the 1305 but I don't think it is.  Still pretty good but that 1305 is just wonderful.  All the SOCs are great as is the 2000.  I'm a big fan of Semogue.
