Why should i love a boar brush?

[takisg]

Because it takes for ever to break in? ( 15-20 times to the next Millennium )
Because it always will be harsher than badger?
Because it takes the same time / amount of swirls to load from hard soaps as my floppier badger brush ?
Because it doesn't have a good lather flow?
Because i struggle to get a second pass, and i have to reload her?
Because it is by a fraction, less inexpensive to a descent badger brush?
Gentleman, please help me to love my boar brushes

Just send them to me, I love boars! Seriously what brush do you have, and how many lathers have have you made?

 

[brother cavefish]

Boar brushes are just great. But so is badger. Yes they are less expensive and do just as good if not better. I have both and love them. Soc. 1305. Omega mixed and a best badger

 

[Greg1911]

I'm a badger guy but I love my SOC and my 1305.

The Semogue 610....not as much.

A broken in boar will be soft. Your patience will be rewarded.

+1-----I have badger and boar. I like both. What brush are you using? Have you tried a Semogue 1305 or an Omega Pro. darn fine. Do you soak it before lathering? Don't give up 'cause once you hit that sweet spot---pow-zoom! Enjoy.

Is there a boar emoticon?

Some guys like the scritch. And they chew into hard soaps a lot faster than most badgers. Some guys like them just to be different. Me, I like badgers. They don't have to cost more. They feel nicer. They don't have to break in. They hold more soap and more water. It's a no brainer for me... badger badger, all the way. If you want to love your boar but can't, then maybe you should find a different kind of brush to love. I would have a hard time coming up with a convincing argument in favor of the boar, really.

Besides, which has more appeal, a nasty old boar or a cute widdle badger-wadger?
You decide.

I really tried to like them. Tried a few boars including the SOC and other Semogue boars. Badger is so much better in terms of performance for me.

I bowl lather creams with my SOC. Having said that, it is (in my limited experience) the finest boar brush available for only $39. It is not just an excellent boar, it is an excellent brush. It creates mounds of lather and is quite soft (not too long a break in for this brush and no funky smell).

I love my BK8, but you can't buy one for $39. Or $69. Or $99. Or . . .

Looks like you are a badger guy. I love the boar better than badger but mine are well broken in and it didn't take long at all. Badger is too floppy and the tips are still scritchy.

 

[mrb7]

Whoa, I have some of both too. And I find the badgers to be like trying to use a makeup brush. Yeah, the badger is soft. But a broken on boar, soaked correctly, isn't like a wire brush.

And my boars load up just fine.

For some reason, I still prefer badger...

 

[NSmalls]

No one is forcing you to like boars you know ... If you don't like them you don't like them.

...until it bites your face off...

 

[Eeyore]

Nobody tells you to love boar brushes ... if you prefer badger or synthetics, that's great.

 

[nymtber]

I like both.

Boar rule for soap and face lathering.

Badger are, IMO, better for creams.

But, I don't see why anyone would spend more than $20 on a brush...

Because they want to?

That's how badgers laugh.

 

[Danricgro]

I have both and prefer badgers. With that bein said I could get on just fine if all I had were boars. I have never had a well broken in boar (I have had several) that had any scritch at all and the flow through has always been outstanding. I do think that the backbone people claim boars have is very over rated. Once they are broken in they get a bit floppy.
