Short and Scrubby Boar Shave Brush by Zenith 24mm X 48mm. B17

Finally back in stock. I had this created as an homage to the 2013 Barbear Classico Cerda that was created by Semogue for the Portuguese forum of the same name. Many consider that brush as the finest face lathering boar brush ever made. It certainly is my favorite brush from Semogue. I like it better than the 620, 2000 and SOC. Unfortunately, the Barbear Classico is no longer available. This Zenith brush is an homage rather than trying to replicate it. Obviously the looks are different with the dark stained wood, ergonomic handle, and natural rather than dyed bristles of the Semogue. I also went with a 24mm knot because Zenith brushes splay less than Semogues. The loft is set at 48mm with a 41-43mm effective loft from the glue bump. Because of this shorter loft it will take longer than other Zenith brushes to break in. It should be one the scrubbiest Zenith brushes (the other is Big and Scrubby B14 Aluminum handled one), but because of the finer bristles, it won't fully match the Semogue in scrubbiness. That said, this brush is one of my all time favorites from Zenith.
