Great demo...That's why I like the Stirling "Kong" it's got plenty of splaywithout mashing it so you can control that splay. The flow-through of the Kong is also something else. It builds (for me) probably some of the best lathers of any brush I own. I can work a lather with impunity without a risk of "frying the flesh". I like a little backbone but I'm not that hung up on it.

I'm not sure what Semogue do to their knots, but their boars are lovely out of the box on the whole.

Omega brushes soften up pretty fast & they're the best boar brushes if you like backbone/scrub. (i know you do lol) My recommendation: soak a new boar brush in cold water for 2 days and use it only once a day. The tips will split faster when they can dry 👍🏼

Sooner or later Spencer will convert you to natural hair brushes. The lad is persuasive, look how fast he became a successful Gigolo.

Hahaha mate I enjoy the natural hair brushes for their variety and unpredictability but I would take a synth over one any day! Hahaha

I've heard putting a new boar brush in a cup of water in the fridge overnight helps but I've never tried it myself but it's worth giving a go mate.

I have a Semogue 830 and the Omega/Proraso brush. For me the Omega is miles better than the Semogue.

Yeah my fear with semogue is that they can become too soft and floppy

You'll be gobsmacked at how soft that knot ends up if you don't toss in the towel first. Foock me you're a delicate petal though! lol 😂😂😂

I'm a little late to the party but I found this while searching for videos on face lathering. Your method of painting on the soap, slowly wetting till almost clear, then scrubbing, fixed my poor form. And my fear of taller loft knots for the face lather. By now that brush probably feels great! Thanks for the video! Cheers from an ancestor of Scottish farmers living in Arizona!

It takes a few weeks to break in.Load the knot again and leave it in over night (do that a few times) or leave it in a mug of cold water and put it in the fridge (mantic 59 technique).That is a lovely brush.

Cris I just had a 3 brush shave, I used a Seamoge and the Omega pro and the Gray Wolf. I have used the Seamoge for over a year and it is soft but floppy, the Omega pro is starting to turn and was very nice. But the Gray Wolf was hands down the best, great lather and felt like a cloud. Really send it to Spencer and let him break it in for you:)

Beautiful beautiful brush Graydog. What is the loft? I am sure it will become a very nice brush after breaking in.

Some people say its the drying process what really starts the splitting process. I am not super experienced by it worked for me: long soak, palm lather, towel dry and then air dry for at least 24 hours.

Melt and pour soaps generally make a poor lather. She needs to adapt and make a better soap.
