Omega 50014 - Badger Imitation - 100% Boar Bristle Shaving Brush

I don't normally "go for" boar when purchasing a new shaving brush, but I liked the looks of this one based on the clever handle/protective case, and boy did she deliver. This is what I consider a "travel-size" brush, but it whipped up a fine lather and was pleasure to use especially after extending the unusual handle. It is the perfect size for all shaving, but I particularly find it useful for my smaller scuttles with mini-pucks and face-lathering. Has all the quality one would expect from Omega. AWESOME PRICE TOO! I don't know how Italian Barber does it.

It’s not the smallest brush around but if you have room in your Dopp kit it’s nice. Medium backbone and density. Wet it and go. Produces a moderate amount of lather, not as much as a synthetic but will be a bit thicker in density with the water being absorbed by the boar hair and with no scritch with good scrub. Not really sure why travel brushes are oftentimes bigger than a regular brush.

If you are looking for a brush to throw in your toiletry bag, this is it! I have had it for about a year now. I go to the gym early so I show and shave there nearly every morning. This brush and case is just what I was looking for. It broke in quickly and I have not been disappointed. Only thing I would suggest is to remove it from its case when possible so it drys properly. I do this every morning upon returning home. GREAT brush I would recommend.

This is a great brush I’m kicking myself for not picking up two of these. No funk, very easy to break in and quite soft on the face. Performance is great. You will love this one.

I expected a good brush for an Omega, but was surprised at the brush itself for this price point. Great value.
