Handle: Painted Beech Wood Banded Badger Imitation Premium 90% Tops Boar Bristle Size - Knot: 22mm - Loft: 55mm - Handle: 53mm - Total Height: 110mm Review: Outstanding product at a great price - I was going to wait before writing a review as I assumed it would take a while for the brush to break in properly. But I found it's performance to be excellent from the very first shave. So here goes... The brush arrived in an unassuming plastic box. It is well made and feels substantial in the hand. The brush had very little odor, nothing like what I expected. Anyone who has lived on a farm knows that pigs have a rather "fragrant" aroma. This brush did not. It was very faint. I soaked the brush in hot water for a few minutes then pulled out my trusty Taylors sandalwood soap and went to work. I have to say this brush works incredibly well with hard soap. It quickly picked up a large amount of soap. I switched to my bowl and was able to make a ridiculous amount of thick lather within a minute. It performed much better than my badger. I let the soap sit in the brush for about 30 minutes, then rinsed thoroughly and what little smell there was disappeared. I repeated the process and lathered up. I liked the stiffness of the brush on my face and in spite of being new it was soft enough to be comfortable. I expect it to get even better with use. Best of all it only lost one hair unlike my badger which shed like a mangy dog for the first few weeks. I highly recommend this product, especially if you prefer hard soaps as I do. I think I will stick with my badger for creams, but I plan to try this brush with my bigalow cream next time just to see how it performs. If you only have $20 to spend, spend it on this brush instead of a cheap badger at the same price. Review: When softer isn't necessarily better... - Obviously, I'm a wet shave guy and I have always thought badger hair was the way to go with brushes. After all, wouldn't you want the softer bristles massaging all that lovely soapy foam onto your face and into your beard? As it turns out, it rather depends on the soap you are using as to which bristle to use. I like cake soap...especially the kind made from sheep fat (lanolin). If that's you, too, you'll find that the stiffer boar bristle does a far better job of whipping up that nice, thick, peaky, foamy lather. And that feels much better on my face. My razor doesn't care what bristle I use to get the lather made and on my face, but it does care that the lather is thick and creamy and lasts the entire shave. And I credit this brush with getting to that end with my cake soap. Love it! If you use a cream to make your lather, this brush will work well, but you might prefer the more luxurious feel of the badger hair. Since cream is already part of the way there to lather, the softer bristle will work just fine. I have both, as I suspect most guys who are serious about wet shaves do. You'll figure out which works best with what soap, too. By the way, the stiffness of the boar bristle is why I only gave it 4 stars for softness. It isn't supposed to be soft. So 5 stars would actually not be a good thing at least for boar bristle. The handle is a great length. I like the longer handle, especially as I get closer to the bottom of my shaving mug as the soap is used up. It is well designed and comfortable to hold and whip. The bristles are holding well. I have only had one detach...it's been a couple of months now. That in itself is sort of amazing. So why did I only give it 4 stars over-all? The brush is worth the money, but (and I know this is picky) the emblem on the handle is a decal, not painted. It is already coming off. I know, I know, big whup. Still for such a quality brush, that seems a tacky finishing touch. ## Features - Bristle Shaving Brush - Boar Shaving Brush - Semogue 1305 - Traditional Shaving - European Made ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B004OJS8E8 | | ASIN | B004OJS8E8 | | Best Sellers Rank | #342,145 in Beauty & Personal Care ( See Top 100 in Beauty & Personal Care ) #164 in Shaving Brushes | | Brand Name | Semogue | | Color | Brown | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (583) | | Handle Material | Wood | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 4.33"L x 2.17"W x 4.33"H | | Item Weight | 0.07 Kilograms | | Item model number | 1305 | | Manufacturer | Semogue | | Manufacturer | Semogue | | Material Type | Metal, Wood | | Number of Items | 1 | | Other Special Features of the Product | Reusable | | Package Dimensions | 4.69 x 1.46 x 1.46 inches; 2.57 ounces | | Product Firmness | Soft | | Shape | Round | | Surface Recommendation | Wood | | Theme | Grooming, Shaving | | UPC | 755332113323 781549021823 746122419558 | | UPC | 755332113323 781549021823 746122419558 | | Unit Count | 1.00 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Semogue - **Color:** Brown - **Handle Material:** Wood - **Material:** Metal, Wood - **Product Dimensions:** 4.33"L x 2.17"W x 4.33"H ## Images ![Semogue, 1305 Shave Brush - Boar Bristle - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/611Fr-iJTML.jpg) ![Semogue, 1305 Shave Brush - Boar Bristle - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61UorDIneaL.jpg) ![Semogue, 1305 Shave Brush - Boar Bristle - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/21Q1HjbxYfL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding product at a great price *by J***M on August 26, 2014* I was going to wait before writing a review as I assumed it would take a while for the brush to break in properly.

For those of you who are not about to spend $400 for a Silver-tipped Badger Brush, with hair harvested from only the belly of sleeping female badgers, living on the Eastern slope of the Manchurian Mountain range, this Boar-Hair brush provides great backbone, superb lather, and all at a very reasonable cost. Hand-built (watch the video) and hand painted, the 1305 is a brush that you can expect to have forever, with nary a lost bristle, and with a stout enough feel to whip the lather into a frenzy of awesomeness. The softness comes after your first dozen or two shaves as the hairs develop split-ends, and those split-ends get split ends, and the beat goes on. At first, you may feel like the brush is not as soft as you would like, but when it breaks in, in is fantastic. Coupled with a high-end soap or shave cream, the Semogue is a high-value purchase, at a bargain price. Highly recommended. ~syf ## Frequently Bought Together - Semogue, 1305 Shave Brush - Boar Bristle - Proraso Shaving Soap - Merkur Merkur Double Edge Safety Razor --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/2417303-semogue-1305-shave-brush-boar-bristle](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/2417303-semogue-1305-shave-brush-boar-bristle) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-05-09*
