Add me to the list of SOC Mistura owners !

There's a lot of love among our B & B community members for the Semogue SOC Mistura brush.
After reading loads of positive and uplifting comments on several different threads, I decided it
was time to add another brush to my collection. Do I "need" another brush ? ..... of course not.
Do I deserve to be good to myself and buy a gift "from me to me ?" ..... Yes indeed !
Here she is right out of the box. My initial thoughts are "WOW !, she is a beauty."

Very nice brush, Adam!

SOCTOBER 2021

Isn't the month of October a lovely month? Whilst the forests on this half of the globe are turning into wonderful colourful places, spring is approaching on the the other half of the planet. It's the time of TABACTOBER, OCtober... and... and... wait. What about an October based brush event...

These are fantastic brushes!

Okay, so I know that with a new brush, you're supposed to soak it, condition it, baby it, and break it in .....
..... all before the first shave. But, feeling like a little kid again with a new toy, I just couldn't wait. So,
about a dozen swirls in my tub of Mike's Lavender, and then a magnificent face lather. First try, and I am
already loving this brush. Everything about it seems pretty darn perfect ! I know, only time will tell and
YMMV, etc., etc.. But, I must admit that right from the start, this is an awesome brush.
I started this thread with two pix right out of the box. Here she is after swirling in the soap, and then her
first "bloom" after the shave. I am definitely a happy camper !

I didn't buy another brush for nearly a year after getting my Mistura. The next brush I bought was a backup. Probably ought to have stopped right there, as nothing I've purchased since has been an improvement.

That is exactly the experience I had with my first brand new SOC Mistura. There are many different types of brush available, with different characteristics, but I feel it would be no hardship if the SOC Mistura became the only shaving brush available. Even the handle design, materials and build quality feel premium and I never feel like I am slumming it compared to an expensive artisan brush. What a superb value this brush is.

I say get the Taj handle version as well. It’s really lovely.

Hey hey congrats on the mistura, it -is- quite a nice brush. I like how the soc handles are a touch longer and is good at keeping lather off my fingers.

Congrats and great review and pics. I’m a mistura fan too. Butterscotch. I’ve toyed with the idea of getting a second almost since I got the first because I like it so much. I definitely fall into your camp @Adam18 of not needing another brush let alone a backup. Then there’s the taj handle or the wood to consider too. But I really like the butterscotch so it’s another back of the brain thing I can’t forget.
But the focus for sure is what a wonderful brush it is. I don’t reach for anything else these days and to mix it up I almost have to force myself. I’m also glad that it lived up to and in fact surpassed the hype of a few threads. However many of the reviews I read here were from solid users who spent extensive time using it and considering the brush so it felt like a safe move. I’m slowly talking myself into that backup again now.

I enjoyed reading your thoughts, thank you. But I have to question my reasoning on reading this thread. I have plenty of brushes. I don’t need another. But thank you for helping me come to my senses & realize I should get another brush. Thank you, Adam. And your Mistura is beautiful.
