When I don't post, I always get the feeling I'm missing out on something b/c its part of my routine. But happy to post something finally. Do I have something for everyone to try out b/c I did something which enhanced a shaving brush. Anyone can do it and think others should try out as well. I reduced the loft to the bristles of my Omega Pro 48! I believe its originally 70mm and I reduced to the size of my Semogue 2011 LE FBristle 2 which is 55mm. Almost a year ago I sold off my Omega 48 b/c it was high lofted but was an amazing brush. But for $14 why not get another and fix it to my liking. I did and its amazing. Noticed that the hairs do not split and adds a bit of scritch/scrub. Also Its the best lather monster! Sure you load more, but you will not find a brush like this which lathers effortlessly. Well friends, you all have a wonderful day!
