Great review, Andy!
I got my brush, too: #9. But I haven't used mine yet.

: The Semogue horn handle brush arrived
: Monday. It is absolutely stunning. The pre
: and post bloom pictures I took do not do the
: brush justice, so I will not post them.
:
: For those who have seen the brushes on the
: other forums - I received brush #15 - a
: mixture of light and dark brown with black
: streaks. Absolutely stunning. The handle
: weighs more than I had expected. The hair
: is more brown than gray, giving the brush a
: very warm appearance. The knot is about as
: dense as my Shavemac 177, but the loft is
: fairly long at 57mm, giving it quite a bit
: of bloom.
:
: Over the past couple days I've test lathered
: with both creams and soaps, in a bowl and
: directly on my face. The longer loft and
: bulb shape knot suggest a cream brush. But
: it works equally well with soaps and creams.
: The brush wants more water and product than
: my shorter-lofted brushes. The tips are
: quite soft, but the decent knot density
: provides ample backbone.
:
: The quality of this brush is at least as
: good as my Shavemac, Omegas, and (former)
: Rooney. Thanks to Leon and Rich who made
: this brush happen.
