The Taj with boar looks a bit bland right next to the other two but is quite fetching on its own.

It's 50/50.

First round with the Finest Cherry today
As soft and scrubby as the broken in Mistura with a bit less backbone - very comfy. The light handle is great for whipping up lather in a bowl. Next station face lathering!

Wow, you lucked out on that handle. Beautiful grain.
Many thanks, I will coat it with a couple of layers of furniture oil to save it from the humidity and further enhance the looks.
Initially I thought it was olive wood as the grain is so flamboyant but Semogue doesn’t do the SOC in olive and the color is Cherry anyway.
Haven't seen an ugly cherry handle on one of these yet. They are simply stunning.

Fumbling about.
I don't remember what kind of wood my boar SOC is. I think it's cherry, but I'm not sure.
I have not taken a sufficiently good photo of this lovely (non SOC) Semogue brush. It has the SOC handle but is a limited edition brush with the most wonderful three band knot. It might be my favorite three band knot. Tons of backbone and scrub. The handle is of course stellar. |
I realize I'm not qualified for Hat Trick Status, but I might be were this horseshoes.
Happy shaves,
Jim
The TSN is an absolute stunner - I lucked out on this otherwise we would be talking about the Four Horsemen of shaving Goodness

Pulled the trigger on the SOC Mistura Butterscotch.
Can't wait to find out what everyone loves about these knots

Oops, I should've check the news. Canada's Border Service, which includes Customs, just went on a work to rule strike. To be continued...

Rutt row. Hopefully this doesn’t delay your little box of goodness too long.
Thanks. Seems to have been resolved. Portugal to Canada, this could take a while, which is fine.

Well, colour me impressed. It only took four days to travel from Portugal to Canada. Just have to clear customs and we're good to go!

What a nice knot!
I love my Mistura brushes. Not as soft (obviously) as my Silvertip brushes (other manufacturers), but lather up well.
Wowzer, five days door to door from Portugal to Toronto. That's gotta be some kinda record. I will post pics soonish. Don't get too excited, my photo skills are abysmal at best
Here it is. Side note, the goat was given to me by a dear friend. His name is Headbutt. 
And what's the goat's name?
