This brush had excellent tip softness right out of the box, I can just imagine what it'll be like in a year or so. As is common for boars, it's got a lot of backbone. So it's stiffer and scrubbier than a typical badger brush, but without the annoying scritchiness that a badger in this price range would have. The knot measured 27mm and was very dense. The closest thing to a complaint that I can come up with is that, not yet broken in, it takes a lot of loading. But i's improving with each shave. Highly recommended.

I like badger brushes but this boar brush is really fantastic. I prefer it now over my badgers. Break it in by rubbing it on a towel for 10 minutes each day for a week. Leave it in cold water in the fridge over night for 2-3 days. Rub it on a towel and it breaks in nicely. Mine is soft after just a week of use. I can't say enough about how nice this brush is.

This is an excellent brush and very reasonably priced given the craftsmanship that goes into it. Super soft since day one and gets softer with use. Extremely easy to lather and holds enough lather for three passes. Highly recommended for anyone. Only four stars because there is always something better.

This is actual my second SOC brunch that I have ordered from Semogue and I can assure anyone that you won't be disappointed. My first brush was SOC Badger brush. There are no bristles that shed and the brush does not have any distinctive boar smells. The handle is very well made. The loft and backbone is fantastic and the lather is slick and luscious. The bristle feels amazing against my face when lathering up. Love it to bits. Thanks Semogue for providing us with top quality products.!! I fully recommend this brush to anyone looking to take their personal grooming to the next level.

I bought mine from the factory in Portugal. This one was a no-stink version and gave me a great lather from day one. I like this Bore haired brush a bit better than my more expensive Badger hair brush.
