I've been using 2 omega boar brushes nearly everyday since end of July, alternating between the 2.
At first, I thought the reddishness and burn come down to them being not broken in. But today I got a pretty bad burn at my collarbone area and I don't even shave that part of my face.
So how do I solve this?
1) Don't mash down hard and just paint it on?
2) Get a badger? They are expensive and also made of animal hair. If it also burns me, it's a waste of my money.
3) Go back to my old omega S10018 synthetic? Too little backbone and too much splay in this one.
4) Are there any cheap omega with some backbone? Omega brushes are cheaper and more easily available here. S10065 maybe?
This really sucks big time. I was so looking forward to using boars regularly and now this has to happen. I've got a feeling these 2 might end up being paper weights because of those damn brush burns I've been getting.
