    That’s nice to hear. I have just bought it, but so far very happy with it. I don’t have that many, but it is by far the best one I’ve got. I really appreciate your replying, and I love your channel. Thanks

      I'm very impressed with Semogue's first entry into the world of Proprietary fibers. I'm a huge fan of Semogue and can only imagine good things to come from their synthetic line.
      And thank you sir! I enjoy creating the content and it means a lot to hear guys get something from it.
      Have a great week!

    I hope they come out with a smaller version, say 21 to 23 mm. That brush is a size too large for me. So it goes.

    • @Tobins_throwbacks
      @Tobins_throwbacks  5 місяців тому

      I agree, I was thinking a 24mm would be nice. 22 to 24 is my "sweet spot".
      Have a good one!

    Great Tobin! It does look a lot like the Titanium knot that A P Shavco has, but that's just going off the appearance. I just don't have a ton of experience with there being some many knots out there and I just didn't get into brushes that much. That might change after I get the Pure Bliss, but who knows. This does look interesting and maybe they will have just a knot available at some point. I did message you and maybe that might partially get you close to an answer. Sometimes it takes me a bit to come up with the right words-lol! Take care!

      When you talk about razors you talk about blade gap and exposure in inches yet when you talk about brushes you only talk about millimeters. Clearly you are comfortable with the metric system when it comes to shaving hardware. Most, not all, razor manufacturers now list specs in mm as it seems to be the standard. Just saying. Love your videos.

      Alchemy1 is more like a Finest Badger not as soft and Alchemy1 has more backbone.

    How does this brush compare to the semoque soc synthetic? Does it have more or less backbone?

    • @Tobins_throwbacks
      @Tobins_throwbacks  4 місяці тому +1

      I'd say the Alchemy1 has a slightly stronger Backbone than the SOC Silvertip synthetic. But because the the size of the knot and the way it is cut it still splays well. So more backbone but not by much.
      The higher loft and the cut i believe make a difference in the way it splays.
      If this doesn't make sense let me know.
      Have a good one!

      @@Tobins_throwbacks i find the soc synthetic to have more backbone compared to mij simpsons t3. Do you find the Pegasus a brush to buy if i already own a soc synthetic? Is it that different?

    • @Tobins_throwbacks
      @Tobins_throwbacks  4 місяці тому +1

      @Ric325i yes and no.
      I love the SOC the Alchemy1.
      If you have money to burn and brush squish disorder like I do then I'd say yes.
      It is an improvement compared to the SOC. But it's not a "game changer".
