I'd recommend the Vulfix Hyde Park, The bristles seem thinner than most Omega Or Semogue Boars, seem to break-in fast and they dry quickly. They are on the smallish side and built for face lathering, If you bowl lather I'd recommend the Vulfix 405 "Strand", same qualities with a slightly larger loft and handle.
I use the bambino, and I carry it in a prescription bottle with holes in it. It wont be replacing any of my larger brushes for non-travel use, but it does the job well and takes up next to no space and you can't beat the price.
