Help me choose my new brush!

[Boba Fett]

I am soon going to buy a new brush--it will be boars hair, which I know is a little stiffer, and should be pretty good with my soaps and help get rid of a few stubborn ingrowns on the neck. I have it narrowed down to three:

So, which should I get?

I would think the Omega would be the choice here. I have two Omega boar brushes and two Vulfix boar brushes. You can't really go wrong in the selection of either. The choice between them really comes down to personal preference. The Vulfix offers a nicer handle with the banded look versus the simpler handle on the Omega. IMO, both are better choices over the Van Der Hagen, so I think the few extra dollars there gives you a much better brush.

I agree and lean toward the omega.

I didn't vote because the only one I'm familiar with is the Omega 10049 (Pro) model.

I am happy with that one.

I'd say Omega because of the sweet price. I know the Vulfix might feel a bit more hefty, but the performance will likely be very similar. With that extra money you can buy something else in another category of AD

Honestly, I believe the VDH is better suited for painting fence posts or scrubbing bathtubs.

Another vote for Omega here.

Fewer replies than I had hoped for, but it looks like I am getting the Omega. Thanks all.
