I decided to choose the Semogue Finest Mistura shave brush in butterscotch to supplement my other badger and synthetic brushes. I wanted to try a boar brush but thought I'd go with a badger/boar mix. Boy 'o boy, what a fantastic shave brush. It has great backbone, yet is soft once lathered and performs like no other brush I own. I love the orange handle and the 24 mm knot size is perfect for my face. Look no further if you want a reasonably priced shave brush that combines excellent performance and the quality.
