Who says a boar can't hold enough lather?

[Foyle]

Here's my 1305 after three passes, face lathered with Proraso cream. ( I'm a three pass shaver.) I used the normal almond sized dollop applied directly to the brush and went straight to the face. There's easily enough lather left in the brush for a fourth, and possibly a fifth pass. For me, a fully broken-in boar will hold plenty of lather. As always, YMMV.

Not me! My SOC boar holds enough lather for me to face & head shave with 3 passes each, easily.

If it is big enough, it should do the trick..

A good boar holds a lot more lather than some think, especially once it gets broken in well.

boar is great, the user is the problem in 95%of the situation

That's a great brush and it certainly can hold plenty of lather for a 3 or 4 pass shave.

I still prefer badger

My SOC boar hold a ton of lather!

Even my $14 shave factory boar holds plenty for 5 if u needed it.

My semogue 620 only had enough for 2 passes this morning...I still say the key to boars holding enough lather is loft. Bowl lathering also works.

My semogue 2000 holds enough lather for both of my fiance's legs! I know because I watched She's got some purty legs!

My Omega Pro 49 will hold enough for 4 passes - my Semogue 2000 is 2 passes at best as is my Omega 80005. I REALLY wanted both the 2000 and the 80005 to do better - but the Pro 49 literally destroyed them overall. I'm sure there is a boars brush even better than the Pro 49 and I am determined to find it. If anyone knows of a boar brush that will hold more lather than an Omega Pro 48 or Pro 49....PLEASE tell me and I will buy it.
