Are the on par with Omega, and other Production Brushes.

Also tried finding DEALERS in USA, seem to be none, only available out of EU?

Thinking about a better Baor,

Zenith makes high quality boar brushes that I would say are just as good, if not better than Semogue. Omegas are good too, but I think they are just a different style of boar knot. Untreated, a little scrubbier.

TheGentleShave.com sells them out of Cleveland, Ohio. I happened to check their site the other day and it seems like their prices went up since the last time I looked. I've bought them from Your Shaving out of Europe before too and found their shipping prices and time to be reasonable. A third option is the RazoRock Blondie from Italian Barber. It only comes in one style of brush with an olive wood handle, but it is a Zenith knot and it's only $22.

I would put Zenith on par with Omega. I’ve only got one Zenith and while it might be better than some of the Semogue brush models, I wouldn’t say it’s better than all Semogue brushes. My opinion only. The thing about boar brushes is that they’re generally pretty inexpensive so you can buy several to see what you like best.

Probably not better than Omega, but you are getting a much better handle.

It always surprises me how much Zenith brushes are appreciated overseas, much more than at home unfortunately.
I guess Nemo propheta in patria est...

I have never owned a Zenith but they have a good reputation. I am curious though, why not a Semogue?

I have a couple, and once broken in they are grand. I like their density - seem to be more substantial than Semogue or Omega. Can't go wrong with any of these Marko points out given the prices.... Good spectrum to sample.

Zenith brushes are available in US from The Gentle Shave https://www.thegentleshave.com/

I have purchased from both The Gentle Shave and Your Shaving in Spain with success and satisfaction.

In order of pure personal preference, I like Omega knots over Zenith after break-in as the Omegas are softer and floppier. I prefer both over Semogue knots.

Semogue is also being considered.

Want a brush either bigger knot then my cheap Omega.

But do not want to buy pricy $100.00 dollar plus brush.?
