Semogue Owners Club Boar Cherry Wood Shaving Brush is a 24mm boar brush in a turned cherry handle, from the range where Semogue puts its better handle work and its higher bristle selections.
Selected Premium is the top boar grade the company lists. The hairs are sorted for length and left largely uncut, so the knot keeps more of its natural taper and reaches a soft tip sooner than the grades used further down the range.
A knot this size rewards patience. Give it a proper few weeks of regular use and it keeps improving, building richer lather and a softer, more refined feel with every shave while never losing the backbone a 24mm knot is built for.
Cherry darkens as it's handled, so the brush will look warmer in a few years than it does new, and the Owners Club marking is engraved into the wood rather than printed on it.

Nice brush
It's a nice brush with a well made handle. It's a great addition to my badger and synthetic fibre.

A beauty of a boar.
This brush is great. The handle is very comfortable in the hand and the knot is a nice size if you like a large brush for face lathering. It doesn't take long for the brush to break in and get softer and softer. Excellent for soaps and creams and is very well made. I cannot recommend this brush enough - you will not be disappointed!
