Yes. Preferably something more solid than "trust me, bro."

I think it is fair to say about brushes and razors and other shave related products that on line suppliers of shaving goods are using second parties to manufacture almost everything from lotions to blades and in-between and even YAQI has 2nd parties that Mfg soaps and fragrances(Master soap creations SA) and other machine shops in China making stainless steel razors possibly IMO.
On line suppliers are trying to offer cheaper and great affordable high end products and still keep the doors open for business.
On-line suppliers and online Manufactures brands take a lot risk to make a few dollars per sale has been my conclusion over the last 8 years of my buying shave related products observations.
Even currency fluctuations, mail strikes, couriers sloppy handling of packages can make havoc for online suppliers anywhere on the planet.

I'm still waiting on the forum to tell me who to have omega contact because they want to reply about this info about them..
I reported your post to the mod team, hopefully they can make a decision as far as how to respond to Omega on this.
Thanks. I did the same thing earlier after Omega sent me the request too... I guess we shall we what they ( mod team ) want me to tell them (omega) since omega is already talking to me about it....
It would be unfortunate if Omega weren't allowed to respond due to not being paying vendor - you shouldn't have to drop $100 to correct misinformation that is being spread about your product on a public forum. But perhaps Massimo can provide a statement and the mods can add it to the OP before closing the thread.
I will see if I can get them ( omega) to give me a statement that I can post or forward to mods or whatever they say to do.. I mean the way it sounded in what I already posted that they sent me , it sounded like they wanted to talk to the bosses here at B&B... I had honestly not thought about the facts of paid vendors or whatnot....
Other vendors have come on to set the facts right. Kent during the MWF reformulation for example. It would be one thing if they joined to spam post sales info, which would be frowned upon.
Who knows. Maybe this will get Omega to become a vendor and offer forum exclusives in the future. Win win.

That would be nice if they joined..
I do not want to comment on the posts of the author of this topic. I have five Omega pig hair brushes. I'm 110% satisfied with them. And I have never regretted spending even a small amount of my rubles on them.
Don't go getting me all excited now!
What if I told you I heard it at a trade show here in Winnipeg MB?
When I was in Beijing, there was someone selling Rolex and IWC watches that were made in China. He insisted they were the same watches.
I don't believe him, either.
Unless you can quote reliable and verifiable sources, perhaps you shouldn't accuse reputable, long established companies of fraud.

We’re aware of the thread and are working on a solution. In the mean time keep everything civil or the thread will be locked.
I am trying.. just let me know what to tell omega when you decide...
Okay all , I think to give the OP the benefit of the doubt here , they were trying to put out stuff they thought others might like to know.. Some of their wording and what not might have been better worded differently and would have been better as more of a hey I heard this , does anyone know if it's true.. BUT , They are a new member and they may have just been over enthusiastic in their wanting to get involved in conversations and not have known better..
Last night I dreamt Chinese company Yaqi was making brushes, tufts or whatever for Omega brush factory. I was kicking myself in disbelief and couldn't believe it until I woke up and gave a big sigh of relief. Now I'm more serene!
I was thinking of sending an email to the Pennellificio Omega company, today is Saturday I see they are closed and would not respond shortly.. However since you are communicating with them I' ll not.
I'm curious as to why they are just waiting to communicate with an moderator of this B&B forum to completely edit and/or correct by providing their version of events. They don't seem to want to issue you a communication that you can report here as is, a simple copy-paste of what they email you.
Anyway, I hope to find shortly a communication from their manager of Pennellificio Omega, hoping that he was allowed to respond and reply in this forum, If as it seems the things written by the OP are not correct.

Because a manufacturer or vendor cannot post here in a commercial way on their own without a Vendor tag.
Omega can communicate and if appropriate, we can post information they wish to convey.
No outside vendor has any "right" to post here.
Everything that is posted here by members is purely hearsay and is to be taken with a grain of salt. I could post that I personally make all the knots for some company. That doesn't make it true.
It's not B&B that is making any statement, it is the opinion/idea of a single member, and the issue with anything a person says here is the members idea, and not the endorsement of Badger and Blade.
We simply provide a place for people to discuss topics, we are not in the business of verifying or contradicting for any business.
Our Team is in the process of reaching out, and if a manufacturer wishes to clarify a point, we will post what they have to say.
This isn't the first time, and it likely won't be the last where someone comes here and tries to post controversial "information".
As has been done in other cases, we do not allow B&B to be a place where manufacturers defend or attack other vendors/manufacturers, nor is it a place where members can attack or defend any position in an issue between manufacturers.
