Semogue 610 Black is the smallest brush Semogue makes, a 21mm boar knot in a striped black and clear acrylic handle standing under 100mm tall.
It's the balanced choice in Semogue's boar range: plenty of backbone to work a hard soap, and it only gets softer and more refined with use, until it holds its own against a decent badger brush. If you're not sure which Semogue boar suits you, this is the one to try first.
A knot this narrow keeps lathering precise, which is worth having if you shave around a moustache or a goatee and would rather place lather than paint it on. The trade-off is capacity: it holds enough for two comfortable passes, so it pays to load a little longer than a wider brush needs.
The acrylic is the practical part. It takes repeated use without swelling or dulling, and it can go into a wash bag still damp, which makes this a sensible second brush to travel with.
