Boar shedding

[shaverjoe]

I am sure this has likely been discussed on numerous occasions but a review never hurts. I recently received a new Semogue 830 boar brush. It is my second boar brush- I have a semogue 620 as well which is breaking in very nicely.

With the first two uses, the 830 has lost about 4-5 bristles/per use. Is this typical? What should I expect. Thanks in advance for your reply.

I just got an 830 - no problem like that the first shave. If this repeats, then I would say return for an exchange. It's always possible to get a lemon.

I have had an 830 for about a month. Lost quite a few hairs first few shaves, then slowed and now stopped. I don't know of that is normal.

I used my 830 for the second time. This time I notice 3 hairs; I don't think it's any big deal. I have had some shedding on all my new brushes (this is my fourth).

Thanks for the follow up.
