Item Description
Price: Hey, at anywhere from $8 to $14 online, this a a great value performer, as are all the Omega Boars.
Quality: This is my fourth Omega brush, and with the exception of one brush with a minor cosmetic flaw that was taken care of by the vendor, I have never had a problem with Omega quality. They are consistent, and good.
Density: Perfect level of density for a boar. Not overstuffed, but who needs that with boar stiffness?
Stiffness of Tips: Tips are stiff to really get in to a soap and load the brush with ease. Great for hard milled soaps like Vintage Williams, Insititut Karite, etc...
Softness of Tips: This one is not banded, so expect a good three weeks before it really starts to shine. After they have split, the tips are soft, and whip lather like a dream.
Ergonomic: The shape of the handle allows for a natural grip, with no sharp edges or anything to stress your hand. I like the "vase-like" shape, and it works fine for my grip. Handle could have a little more heft.
Latherability: Like all boars, properly load the brush, and work it on your face or in the bowl and you will be rewarded with a generous amount of lather for your shave.
Overall, if you are looking for a shorter lofted boar, this will fit the bill.
