Last year I bought a Semogue 1470. Got it out over the weekend and was unable to produce a shavable lather with it. Same soaps with the same water all produced delightfully dense and slick lather using several other brushes. In fact my $6 Chinese even made a fantastic lather in comparison. Unfortunately deep dark drawer space in which to lose this brush is at a premium, so back on the shelf it goes to be ignored in the back row.
I like my 1520 it does what it was made to do, and works well. Just goes to show you that selecting a brush by manufacturer isn't a guarantee that it will perform.
