Folks, Connaught sells a top end Omega, the 011842. This is advertised as a premium boar...with a large faux jade resin handle. (Previously it carried a different #; it was changed, I think, when the logo emblem went away.) Handsome thing. See website for pics, please.
Initial impression is the handle is a wee bit larger than necessary. Have big hands? You will love it. Loft is a tad on the short side; the brush has oodles of backbone!
I've ten shaves in. Lost two bristles only. Bristles are starting to split.
The break in is going to be a long one. This is much stiffer than any boar I've used.
Cost to my door was about thirty bucks.
