I am mostly a Badger hair brush type guy. I have been since I started wet shaving. I have a little no name boar hair brush, and it never really felt right to me, just not my thing I thought. So I stuck with my Badger badger hair, and was happy. A couple days ago, a friend of mine sent me http://www.amazon.com/Omega-Shaving...39614873&sr=8-18&keywords=omega+shaving+brush I just used it for the first time, and WOW I really liked it. I mean I still prefer my Badger hair, but this is a nice little change up from time to time.
So, I just tried out an Omega boar hair for the first time.... WOW

Some give up on boar due to it not being broken-in and boars, horse, and mixed hairs have their place. I love them all but am going through a best grade badger phase at the moment. Variety is the name of the game.
Wait until that boar is well broken-in. You may never go back to badger.

I've heard quite a few folk mention Horse Hair brushes. Where would be the best place to buy one online for someone with.... a limited budget?
Bullgoose (bullgooseshaving.het) sells Vie-long horsehair brushes from Spain that are real nice. Phil at Bullgoose provides excellent customer service as well.
That should be bullgooseshaving.net. Typed too fast.
Or giftsandcare.com Juan is great to work with
Yes, it will 200% better when broken in. You have a lot to look forward to

Boar is fantastic. Badger is fantastic. The later is great for those days went you went a little too aggresively the day before \ and don't need a good scrubb'n and calls for painting. Boar on the otherhand gives a great scrub when needed.
Welcome to the club! I love Omega's with Italian soft soaps. I love badgers with creams. It's all good!
I agree, I love Omega boars and find them to be wonderful brushes. My favorite for bowl/face lathering is my 10290 http://www.shoeboxshaveshop.com/om10avintwoc.html.
