Omega 10049 - 100% Boar Bristle Shaving Brush - BLACK

Good lather. No shedding. Larger size is more convenient than expected.

An amazing brush for the price. Once I got it broken in, it quickly has become my favorite boar brush. Very easy to use as its size and weight does all the work. It holds a lot of water and lather which is important to me as I am a head and face shaver. It's like using a primary pencil in public school, way easy and way efficient. Very pleased with this purchase and would recommend this brush.

For the money, I doubt there is a better brush out there for face-lathering. True, the handle is cheap hollow (ABS?) plastic, but it is perfectly shaped and the light, almost non-existent mass means you can really go to town lathering without it fatiguing your arm or wrist. Lots of backbone, but soft tips once broken in. If you're a head-shaver, the brush can cover a lot of area quick. Whips up a great lather and gets better at this as the brush breaks in. For sure there are prettier brushes, but short of the really high-end badgers, I haven't found many that compare to this in terms of pure performance.

This is a wonderful boar brush with a great value! It is a big 27mm knot. Splay is wonderful with good backbone. I really enjoy this brush.

This is a very good brush, the only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that it is a little larger than I like. No complaints at all with performance.
