The Bambino (50068) is not a 28mm knot.

Neither is the 10048 IMO. It's same as the gold version (20480) at 27mm.

The Bambino is 18mm
.
I have the same 28mm figure for that 10048, which I found on a now defunct suppliers website quite a while ago. Perhaps Omega has changed specs recently?

There's a lot of knot variation (bristles, glue bump). +-1mm won't make or break a brush project.

Regarding harvesting the knot, for those that may not be familiar with Omega brushes, the knot is glued to a plastic plug that is pressure fitted to the handle. You can take out the complete knot and socket without any need to destroy the whole handle. If you heat up the socket the bare knot should come out as well.

That is a typo on my part. I'll see if a mod will allow me to edit it, though they might not.

The 10048 is sold as a 28mm brush, though it might measure 27mm for someone. The 20480 might need to be identified as a 28mm.

Omega Model 10048 Pro 48 Chrome Handle Boar Bristle Shaving Brush, 28mm

This is the shaving brush preferred by Master Barbers in Italy.Sports a chrome colored ABS handle and filled with high quality boar bristles.Once broken-in, you'll notice the tips of the bristles begin to split and become very soft but the brush will continue to provide plenty of backbone...

Great thread for anyone considering an Omega!!

Can you expound upon this “heating the socket” idea? I have a number of vintage handles that could benefit from a transplant.

Have you wanted to harvest a traditionally straight boar knot, from an Omega brush? Hopefully this can be helpful. Here is a list of Omega brushes that might get you started.

Thank you!

 

[blethenstrom]

Is there any numbering scheme with omega brushes that tells me if it is a badger, boar or synthetic or is it all over the place?

 

[Shave Souffle]

Is the Omega 10099 boar brushes still in production?
