I wish I knew the native language to know for certain all that is said, and to say what I would like to say. I've been a long time fan of Semogue brushes, and the recent LE brush I saw has my eye. Semogue LEs in my estimation are the best valued brushes when it comes to an LE brush hands down. The regular models are wonderful as well and don't get near as much love in the forums that they do.
I've seen a few names on the boards here that are familiar to me that others will likely recognize. I've chosen kooshman7 for my moniker for most forums; the only difference is I chose koosh7 for one forum. My first name is Joe, and I've been wetshaving now for 9 years, and I've been down the brush rabbit hole extensively. There are few brands I don't have experience with. I find I typically prefer the old manufacturers for shaving brushes, and am not a large fan of the various knots you can buy to put in a brush from various sources. I just don't find them as refined as Semogue, Simpson, Plisson, Shavemac, or any other well known brand. I left the list short as there are too many to list. I love just about any brush out there. My preference lies in 3-band, but I've delved deeply enough into 2-band to match most enthusiasts there. I'm not a fan of pointy knots, but other than that any shape is fine really. Lately the biggest change to my preferences in regards is I've gravitated back to large brushes. I'm sure in time my interest will shift back to smaller brushes, and I have plenty there too.
I can't say I have a preferred shaving setup totally, but close to it in several areas:
Chosen brush of the day
Chosen lather fuel of the day (Simpsons previous shaving cream is excellent; Proraso also on those hot days)
Georgetown G20 Second Scuttle
Feather AS-D2 for 1-2 day shaves, a mixed assortment otherwise that I'm testing for heavier growth
Personna Blue Lab razor blades typically with some experimentation thrown in
Proraso Green Pre-shave
Geo F. Trumper Coral Skin Food is a particular favorite, but I mix it up here often
Alum block
It's the shaving brush that I have the greatest attachment and fondness towards in wetshaving, and if you were to see my collection it would be immediately evident. I spend more time reading than anything, but one thing that is universally understood and admired that I can contribute is pictures, and will do so in a short time.

Hello and welcome, Joe!
I'm guessing you're from the US, from your name and also from your preferred scuttle
!
Nice to see another fan of Semogue brushes. I live 1 mile away from the Semogue plant (although I haven't had the chance to visit yet) and I am a fan myself.
When you say you prefer 3-band knots, I guess you are refering to Shavemac's. You prefer that to the most known 2-band silvertip? May I ask why?
