I'd like to say hello to all the members of this great forum, and thank you for allowing me to join with you.
I live in the beautiful city of Melbourne Australia and have been a keen wet shaver for a few years now. Like most of us I started out with Double Edged razors, but was quickly entranced by the beauty of Japanese Kamisoris. I bought a kamisori and the learning process began. Surprisingly little blood was spilled, but I realised quickly that I was on a steep learning path. However within 2-3 months I had mastered the kamisori sufficiently that I could enjoy an excellent shave with it.
From there, it was natural (for me) to explore the wonderful world of straight razors, particularly German and Japanese blades. I still marvel at the craftsmanship of many of these blades, and feel a little sad that it is no longer a skill that is passed down from father to son as in days gone by...
These days I shave with SE razors a lot of the time - I really like the Feather and Kai blades and find that they give me an amazing shave with zero skin irritation. I still use DEs, straights and kamisoris though, and feel very lucky that I have so much freedom of choice.
During my shaving career I have found a number of products that I like more than others - like my friend here "Life's a Peach" I favour Italian and Spanish soaps, French fragrances, vintage Polsilver DE blades and the Japanese "Artist Club" style blades. One area in which I struggled to find satisfaction was shaving brushes. And then Life's a Peach introduced me to Semogue brushes. For me, the world changed on that day - for the first time I used a brush that not only performed brilliantly, but really felt wonderful as well. The brush was a Semogue 2013 Special Edition Silvertip and Olive Wood. All I can say is that this brush is pretty much perfect to me, and I treasure it.
Since that day I have been lucky enough to buy 3 more Semogue brushes including the absolutely wonderful Mistura. I am now totally convinced that Portugal is the heartland of brush making expertise!
I look forward to being a member of this forum. Even though I don't speak Portuguese, I have no doubt that I will learn a lot from your welcoming community. Thank you again!

Welcome.
Semogues are very good, indeed. Do you have any "cerda" (boar) from Semogue? They are brushes full of character, with a great performance for the price.

Thank you all for the warm welcome - this is a wonderfully friendly forum!
bonrasoir : if you are interested in the beautiful kamisori, don't wait! You can buy a good beginners blade online for not much money, and there are some excellent instructional videos online too. If you would like to know more, I am very happy to help you :)
FML : I have two mixed badger/boar Semogue brushes (2013 Mistura and 2012 Owners Club Special Edition) and I love them both. I don't have a pure boar brush. Is there a particular brush you would recommend above all others?

Eu devo pedir desculpas por postar em Inglês. Eu tenho usado o Google Translate para tentar expressar minha mensagem em Português - Espero que isso faz sentido ...
Eu gostaria de dizer Olá a todos os membros desta grande fórum, e obrigado por me permitir juntar-se com você.
Eu moro na bela cidade de Melbourne Austrália e sono stati um barbeador molhado ansiosos por alguns anos agora. Como a maioria de nós Eu comecei com lâminas de barbear de dois gumes, mas foi rapidamente encantado com a beleza da japonesa Kamisoris. Eu comprei um Kamisori Começou eo processo de aprendizagem. Surpreendentemente pouco sangue foi derramado, mas rapidamente eu percebi que eu estava em um caminho de aprendizagem íngreme. No entanto Dentro de 2-3 meses eu tinha dominado a Kamisori suficientemente para que eu pudesse desfrutar de uma excelente barbear com ele.
De lá, era natural (para mim) para explorar o mundo maravilhoso de navalhas, lâminas Particularmente alemães e japoneses. Eu ainda se maravilhar com o artesanato de muitas dessas lâminas, e sentir um pouco triste que já não é uma habilidade que é passada de pai para filho como em tempos passados ...
Esses dias eu raspar razors SE com uma grande parte do tempo - eu realmente gosto da Pena e Kai blades e achar que eles me dão um barbear incrível com irritação da pele zero. Eu ainda uso des, retas e kamisoris embora, e me sinto muito afortunado que eu tenho tanta liberdade de escolha.
Durante a minha carreira de barbear eu encontrei uma série de produtos que eu gosto mais do que outros - como o meu amigo aqui "A vida é um pêssego" Sou a favor de sabonetes italianos e espanhóis, fragrâncias francês, vintage lâminas Polsilver DE e os japoneses "Artist Club" lâminas de estilo . Uma área em cui eu lutava para encontrar satisfação foi barbear pincéis. E, em seguida, A vida é um pêssego me apresentou a Semogue escovas. Para mim, o mundo mudou em That Day - pela primeira vez que eu usei um pincel que não só realizado de forma brilhante, mas realmente era maravilhoso também. A escova foi um Semogue 2013 Special Edition Silvertip e Olive Wood. Tudo o que posso dizer é que este pincel é praticamente perfeito para mim, e eu valorizo isso.
Desde aquele dia eu tenho tido sorte o suficiente para comprar mais 3 escovas Semogue incluindo a absolutamente maravilhoso Mistura. Agora estou totalmente convencido de Portugal Este é o coração da fabricação de escovas e experiência!
Estou ansioso para ser um membro deste fórum. Mesmo que eu não falam Português, não tenho dúvida de que vou aprender muito com sua comunidade acolhedora. Obrigado mais uma vez!

FML : I have two mixed badger/boar Semogue brushes (2013 Mistura and 2012 Owners Club Special Edition) and I love them both. I don't have a pure boar brush. Is there a particular brush you would recommend above all others?
It is a matter of taste and personnal preference. For instance, SOC is regarded as the best boar brush, but you will find a good all around brushes in the Semogues 830 and 1305, or a firmer version in the Semogue 1800, or softer versions in the Semogues 1250 and 820.
If you like big brushes, the Semogue 2000 is a little taller and less denser/firmer than the SOC. If you like small brushes like the Mistura but with less splay, you have various models to choose, with a loft of 50mm and a firmer banded hair or a softer white/yellow hair.
The downside of boar is breaking in. Sometimes, months of daily shaving, like the SOC. But you will be regarded with a brush almost as soft as a best or silvertip badger, for a fraction of the price and some elbow grease.
I cannot recommend you one brush, as I stated, it is matter of taste, but I have almost one exemplar of the knots available from Semogue and I find myself using more the Semogue 830, perhaps because I like high lofts.

Welcome to Barbear Clássico, Draco Noir! It was a pleasure to read your personal tale of wet shaving experiences and from my little experience I certainly agree that the artist club blades and SE razors are just fantastic. I only have a Razorock Hawk that I use with Kai Mild (Pink) blades but it consistently gave me a fantastic and comfortable shave on both occasions that I used it. I know, I know. Small sample size and all that, but still true. ;) About your Kamisoris, do you use proper straight razor Kamisori or the Artist Club ones?
And please make yourself at home and enjoy your stay!
