You might want to get a bottle of conditioning shampoo and give your new boar brush a good shampoo. That might helpd.dd
I have noted that shavers with boar brushes often fall into one of two categories: those who love Semogue brushes and those who love Omega brushes and brushes that are similar to Omega brushes. I have two Semogue brushes and one Omega brush. I prefer the Omega brush. It always gives me a better lather than Semogue, but as i said, other prefer the Semogue brushes. If after giving the Semogue a fair chance, you still do not like it, purchase an Omega. Although I have not tried one, I have heard good things about Zenity boar brushes. They just are not as readily available as the first two brands.
