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.
