Semogue makes a nice brush.
Just a little history... not all that many years ago one had to "break in" a new boar brush. There were different ways of doing this and over time the brush developed the split ends that was desired for the brush to get really good. Before that day occurred they really weren't all that great; usable but not great. But after the split ends developed, I can clearly recall the event, and one would realize just how good the brush had become. I would just use the brush to break it in and when I had a chance during the day I'd hand lather the brush after letting it dry. For me, after about a month there was that "Eureka!" moment when I realized just how good the brush had become.
I haven't bought a boar in years but there was a defining time years ago when it was quite noticeable that one would buy a new Semogue boar and in one use the split ends were there. No more break in required.
