Hmmm. Haven't used it but it looks like a similar knot to the Pro models. Omega makes good brushes. Although the knots are large in diameter they're not terribly dense. Doesn't matter though....it'll lather well for you one it breaks in.
I can't say that I've seen this one but the knot looks like the 49 pro - if it is the same knot it'll take a week or so to begin to break in and soften up.
I have Omega brushes very similar to that. I have a 10079 (BIG with a nice big plastic handle), and I also have a 10005 (smaller with a beech wood handle). They really don't break in until 3 months or so of use. After that, they are really great and worth the time it takes to break them in. My favorite brushes. I would buy any Omega boar.
Similar Knot to my wife's, great latherer and solid performer. Bristles soften up after a week or so, same time the smell dies away.
Yeah. Boars do give off a mighty stink.

Thanks for all the opinions gentlemen.
similar to the pro model. I have the pro model and love it. It's the best $10 I've ever spent!
Just want to clarify, this brush ought to be much smaller than a Omega Pro.
The Omega Pro has a 27mm knot, this brush has a 22mm knot. While they might look similar, I have to believe this brush is quite a bit smaller than an Omega Pro.
Omega Pro:
Ht: 128 mm Loft: 65 mm Base: 63 mm Knot: 27 mm
This Brush:
Ht: 98 mm Loft: 50 mm Base: 48 mm Knot: 22 mm
Seems to be a much smaller brush all around.
That said, I have one of the smaller Omega boars, and it is simply a wonderful brush. It's the brush I use on most days.

This is correct...wanted a smaller one myself.
