I ordered a synthetic brush from TOBS, purchased the medium size imitation badger, very nice feel to it and a good brush. I only use creams and it performed as good as my badger brushes. That brush is very impressive, price not that bad paid 47.95 GBP shipped to Canada.

I received my Omega 46151, Lucretia Borgia Syntex. I immediately whipped up the thickest, richest, most voluminous soup mug of Proraso lather I've ever made! Unfreakingbelievable! And the hair is at least as soft as any of the silvertip Shavemacs I own, perhaps more so. It wasn't inexpensive, $49 + shipping from Shoebox Shaveshop, but I'm now a believer. It remains to be seen how well it holds up over time, I'll report back after 50 shaves : -)
That looks like a nice brush - I have the #346235 which seems to have a slightly smaller knot (25mm vs 26mm on yours). It's funny though, another website has the Lucretia Borgia at 25mm...
The TOBS is still me fave thought

Siv, that's a beautiful brush. Today I used my Lucretia w/Tabac and the results were excellent. I love this brush--hope it holds up!

thank you, man as if I needed that LOL like a kid in a candy store
that top of the line Syntex was calling my name, good thing to have an office address. Now I am very content that both my sons will be clean shaven with all the shaving stuff they will inherit from me

Hopefully it'll be a long, long, long time before they fight over who gets what : -) That syntex is a quality tool...
So there are several models of the Syntex brushes?
Good morning, this is my first post.
Does anybody know if this brush (or the smaller 643186) can be found in Europe? I read that Shoeboxshop ships only inside the US.
I asked this question directly to Omega but they didn't reply.

I have a New Technology Synthetic Bristle and its awesome. But I recently got a Semogues Owners Club and its hard to go back to the Synthetic. The SOC creates so much lather its unbelievable.
Thank you Maineac! Unfortunately they don't have the Lucretia Borgia brushes...
