Semogue 1305 Boar Bristle Shaving Brush

The Semogue 1305 Boar Bristle Shaving Brush is a true classic from one of Portugal’s most respected brush makers. Featuring Semogue’s well-known boar bristle knot and the instantly recognisable 1305 handle design, this shaving brush delivers the traditional lathering experience wet shaving enthusiasts know and love.

The latest version introduces an updated two-component handle made from PLA and polyester resin, improving durability and resistance to everyday use while retaining the classic look, comfortable grip and shaving performance of the original Semogue 1305.

Classic Semogue 1305 Design

The Semogue 1305 has become a firm favourite among traditional wet shavers thanks to its distinctive handle and reliable boar bristle knot.

This updated version keeps the same brush knot and shaving performance, with the changes focused entirely on improving the longevity and reliability of the handle.

Semogue Boar Bristle Knot

The brush is fitted with Semogue's renowned boar bristle hair, offering an authentic traditional shaving experience.

Boar bristles are well suited to working shaving soap and cream into a rich lather, while the firm nature of the bristles makes the brush particularly effective at loading hard shaving soaps.

With regular use and proper care, the bristles develop and soften over time, making the brush increasingly comfortable to use.

Improved Two-Component Handle

The updated handle is constructed from PLA and polyester resin, providing several advantages over the previous construction:

• Improved durability for everyday use
• Better resistance to moisture
• Increased resistance to surface wear
• Greater manufacturing consistency
• Comfortable and familiar grip
• Iconic Semogue 1305 styling

The update is designed to enhance the handle's longevity without changing the character or performance that has made the Semogue 1305 a classic.
