Gentlemen,
Over 40 shaves with my omega Proraso and the thing still had a mix of broken in split hairs with a considerable and uncomfortable pokey scratchy sensation when face lathering.
After some reading I took a close look for inspection and voilà…
Rounded rooted thick transparent hairs that were obviously glued upside down.
I got some tweezers and plucked a lot of them, not just 3 or 5.
Once they were out I saw that the split ends were coming from inside the glued knot, not the other way around.
I showed to my wife before plucking, and she was like, “forget it, those are never gonna split”.
Problem solved. I just wanted to post this for anybody that may have a stubborn boar that doesn’t seem to be softening like it should.
Inspect the hair!
Ps: never had any issue with my other 13 year old omega.
