Your Guide to Semogue's Boar Bristle Knot Sizes
Special Grade Boar, 24 x 57mm, shared by the Semogue Owners Club Brush and Excelsior Boar Limited Edition 2009
-There are actually two different types of this knot size, even though both use the same quality bristle. If you follow the external link to the vendor's website - The Vintage Scent, you can see how different the densities are and the fact that the Limited Edition is dyed.
White Premium 90% tops mixed with White Super 70% tops, 25 x 60mm, used by the 2000
-The largest know available in terms of loft and knot diameter, it is the closest example to the Omega 48, and its cousin the Omega 49. A very popular comparison between the two can be found on The Shave Den's forums, by well-known boar aficionado Zach.
Banded imitation badger Premium 90% tops, 22 x 55mm, shared by the 1305 and 830
-Like the Special Grade, there are also two version of this knot size. The 830 is said to have 10% more bristle than the 1305, but is believed by many to have a greater amount of splay to the knot. This difference is much less noticeable than the comparison of the Special used in the LE and SOC.
Banded imitation badger Extra 75% tops mixed with Banded imitation badger Premium 90%, 22 x 55mm, used by the 1800
White Best 90% tops, 22 x 55mm, used by the 1250
White Best 90% tops, 22 x 50mm, used by the 1460 and 1470
Banded imitation badger Extra 75% tops, 22 x 50mm, used by the 1438, 1520, 1550 in dark green or light greenand the 620
-Viewed as the lowest grade bristle Semogue offers, the knot is known to be the "scrubbiest" of them all, owing to the thickness of the bristle and having the shortest loft. General opinion states this knot takes the longest to break in, and will retain a scrubby feeling even after heavy use. It is viewed as a face latherer's brush.
