Yeah, if you prefer boar over synthetic, another boars is a solid bet. You might want to try horse at some point, but later is probably better.I have only 2 brushes, 1 Omega boar and 1 Plisson synthetic. I would like to get another boar because I favor that over my synthetic. I want to try the Semogue SOC mainly because I love the handle.
Start ordering some Omega boar brushes before it’s too late
Thanks for pointing this out because I always thought I was an idiot because I not only find my brushes convenient in that they keep my hands from getting soapy and slippery but I also find that they perform in a way neither of my hands could as the consistency of lather I had when hand lathering was the worst!! Who'da thought that...The whole idea of using this or that brush to me is 100% personal idiosyncrasy, and not about convenience or performance.
eta... Never mind... I had idiot mixed up with a$$h0le!!
Badgers aren't rodentsI've never used badger because it's a rodent. Yucks!
But I went from a synthetic to boars and I don't think I'll use another synthetic again. I now have 5 omega boars.
I've used my Silvertip and boar each once since switching to a synthetic.
If you want ease of loading with hard soaps, try a synthetic. My well broken in Omega boar takes me 200 trips around a tin of PdP 63 to load. My synthetic takes ~50.
Wow, Mike! My Omega boar is loading the PdP in about 25 laps since it dried out, and when I first moulded it into the pot after soaking, it only took five laps. That's intermittent contact too, as the sample doesn't cover the bottom of the pot.
I thought my boar loaded a lot quicker than my Silvertip, and it does. Loading my Silvertip with PdP... I'd be at it a while lol. My synthetic loads much quicker than either. It builds a lather quicker too and just as nicely as my Silvertip.
My bowl lathering days are gone, for good.
I don't bowl lather, I face lather. That's just the pot I moulded the sample into for loading from
Doesn't matter. Still yucky to me. Even someone offers a $200 badger to me, I'd still decline the offer. Just not something I would use. I'm terrified of furry rodents that aren't dogs. The only furry animal I can stand is dogs.Badgers aren't rodents

Then why you make a Dog shaving brushDoesn't matter. Still yucky to me. Even someone offers a $200 badger to me, I'd still decline the offer. Just not something I would use. I'm terrified of furry rodents that aren't dogs. The only furry animal I can stand is dogs.
You need to do some reading about boars. One of the most disgusting animals, yet I still enjoy eating them and shaving with their hair.Doesn't matter. Still yucky to me.

Badger sounds more palatable than snails, squid, raw fish, and opossums to me. Might change my mind if I ever have a plate of badger in front of me though.To me boars, because they can be eaten, is the lesser of two evils.
