Bought this brush after my VDH started shedding like a dog. Was recommended by the salesman at the store I pick up my DE blades at. Says "half the barbers in Europe use these". OK!! Not that expensive. Picked it up, gives good lather. What is everyones opinion of Omega brushes? Threw away the box, so I don't know model. This is not a hobby for me, but I like everything about DE shaving. Not going to buy 5 brushes just to try. Same with razors. Blades, that's different. I don't mind having a small collection of blades. Still trying to find the one for my new Parker 91R. Wilkinson(Germany), is the front runner, followed by Gillette Platinum, and yet to try Feathers in it yet. Got off topic. Is this a decent brush, or should I "try" one more? Not spending over $25 on a brush!
