New(ish) Portuguese Boar Bristle Brushes

[Draco Noir]

While ambling around G&C I noticed that they now sell Antiga Barbearia De Bairro boar bristle brushes :

There are 2 models on sale, both finished in what are apparently traditional colours in Portugal.

Have any of you guys bought and tried one of these beauties yet? If so, would be very interested in your feedback

Nice looking range of stuff. I wish they'd left the bristles uncoloured though.

They are made by Semogue.

Absolutely - why do they still do this?

 

[Draco Noir]

Couldn't agree more guys - pure white boar bristles don't need any "improving on", and would contrast even better with those attractively finished handles.

Well I bit the bullet today and ordered one from G&C - looks like the quickest way to find out if they work as well as they look. Look for a review in a couple of weeks or so, depending on break-in period

They are made by Semogue.

Should be excellent brushes then

Awesome brushes. The believers are growing in numbers.

Indeed they should

Any updates on these brushes? Looks almost identical to the Semogue BC Cerda that I have, except the handle is painted.

One of us, one of us, one of us!
Another Semogue fan

Haha, absolutely! Semogue makes some very fine boar brushes although I do prefer the undyed look and wish my BC Cerda was not dyed. It is still a great brush.

I'm liking you more and more!

I love my 620, and agree that it would look much better unpainted.

I'm thinking of getting something slightly bigger. Maybe the 630 or something else entirely... SOC perhaps?

I've a cherry wood SOC that I might be able to be persuaded to loan out to locals...
