When I got into wet shaving back in 2013, my first brush was a Frank Shaving 21mm Synthetic.
Wasn't too far down the road until I bought an Omega Pro 48 Boar brush.
Problem was that I didn't really know how to properly use a brush like the Pro 48, went back to using the Frank and life went on.
Through the years, I've learned that I like to bowl lather and then "paint" my face with the lather.
It occurred to me recently that the venerable Omega Pro 48 might be a pretty darn good brush for this method.
So I went "retro" this morning:
Loaded the Pro 48 with Tabac, added a dollop of Cremo and built my lather in the Timeless Blue bowl. Used more water than normal - probably because the Pro 48 holds a LOT of soap.
Beautiful, yogurt consistency lather. Using a painting motion, the Pro 48 applied the lather perfectly through multiple passes.
My old friend, the Omega Pro 48, will not have to wait so long for another lathering opportunity.
Just my opinion and YMMV.
