Hello All-
While I am not necessarily new to wet shaving (been at it for probably 3 yrs or so) I am, however, still learning a lot about the various nuances of proper technique, equipment, sops/creams, etc.
I first started this journey with an Omega 10066 - I believe it has a 24mm knot, and prob a 56 mm loft. I was looking to change things up a bit as i feel the 56mm loft, while great for bowl lathering, is a bit large for my small face. That and the fact that my Omega is starting to split at the ring holding the bristles to the handle and will need to be replaced in the near future.
I have been strictly bowl lathering since i started and enjoy it thoroughly. I have been looking at the Semogue line of brushes as they look to have a metal ring vs. plastic (and economically priced for someone still relatively new).
Just wondering if anyone has tried any of the Semogue's for bowl lathering and what (if any) their impressions are. I am not married to the knot/loft size of my previous Omega and am willing to try anything really...Looking to buy two different brushes, prefer the undyed hair, and have about $50-ish to spend. I have been looking at the following models from Semogue:
Thanks!

- 610 (realize this brush is more geared towards face lathering but figured it could work in a bowl as well)
- 820
- 1460
- 1250
Thanks!
