During this phase, you may encounter mild lather-shedding; this is normal and resolves completely. Post-break-in, the brush delivers formidable lathering performance and exceptional durability. The boar bristles develop a subtle curvature that improves with each deployment. Between operations, rinse thoroughly and allow passive air drying; the bristles will tighten slightly as they dry, maximising lather retention.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Brand: Semogue\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince 1947, Semogue has been the benchmark for Portuguese shaving brush excellence.
