Semogue 2020 Badger Brush uses a 22mm Best grade knot in a natural ash handle, and it sits a step above the entry-level badger in both hair and price.
Best sits in the middle of Semogue's badger grading. The hair is finer and longer than the firmest grades, which softens the tips noticeably, while enough thickness remains lower down the knot to stop the brush collapsing when you press it into a soap.
This grade is very soft against the face and builds copious lather, on a longer loft and looser packing than Semogue's denser badger knots. It suits anyone who finds firmer badger grades scratchy, and it's a comfortable knot to shave with every day.
Ash is left natural and matte, giving the handle a soft, low-key finish that suits the gentler character of this knot.
