Hello everyone. I need the help of the forum members. I have been using the Omega 10108 brush for more than three years. I really like her. I recently saw a brush 10049 on sale. Can you tell me how they differ? I am also interested to know the characteristics of all Omega boar brushes. thank you in advance for your help.
What are the differences between Omega boars?

Thank you. The brushes are very similar. It probably doesn't make sense to buy a second brush, which differs slightly in the size and shape of the handle.
The 10049 also has more backbone - the bristles are stiffer. Despite being shorter, the 10108 seems to splay more easily.

I really like my brush 10108. After three years of operation, it is very comfortable to work with
@Goblin described the differences perfectly between the two. I prefer the 10049 because of the handle and backbone, but it might be because that's the one I've had the longest and I'm used to it.
Omega does make a very nice brush with the same 27mm diameter knot, but a shorter loft (52mm vs 10108’s 60mm). Great price too for what you’re getting.

It won't be very cheap for me. And there are probably problems with delivery to Russia right now. It is unclear how to transfer money to the seller for the brush and delivery. Anyway, thanks for the advice.
