This boar bristle brush is a wet shavers favourite manufactured by Omega, the Italian brush and cream experts. The handle is made of tough and lightweight ABS thermoplastic and the long bristle length provides excellent latherability, especially with soaps. The handle is a substantial 73mm so provides plenty of grip. A fantastic shaving brush for not a lot of money!

Author: JC in France I would call this one the lathermachine ! I produce gobs of lather in no time, wether you use cream or soap.
The boar bristles are not scratchy at all and when the bristles start to split after a few uses, it tends to as soft as a good badger brush but for a fraction of the price.
One downside is the smell when you get it out of the box...it's smell just like hell ! Even the powerful fragance of Tabac can't beat his smell. Fortunately, after one week of use, it disappear.
Author: Richard Wall After suffering through a couple of prickly and shedding cheapo brushes I eventually got my act together, and picked-up this quality brush. Dependable, great value, this Omega boar won't win many luxury awards but it will deliver results. With soaps in particular you can really work this brush hard and get yourself some wonderously thick and slick lather, plus as the hairs split the brush becomes softer and less scratchy. Creams I've found fare slightly less well. Yes you can get a good lather, but for me my best-badger brush produces better, with less product used and more heat retained in its bristles, leading to a warmer lather. That aside though the Omega will stand any wet-shaver in good stead, from first-timers to old-hands.
Author: Adam This is perfect for someone wishing to try using a shaving brush but without a great deal of expense. The initial smell of the brush isn't great but is very easy to banish by soaking it in a solution of something minty. I used some Proraso cream mixed with water. I don't see why toothpaste wouldn't do the job.
Anyway, the brush is big and surprisingly soft. It would suit a gent with a larger face. By taking a little time you can create a serious amount of lather. After a while you may wish to upgrade to a more expensive brush, but I expect many users will be quite happy with its very decent performance.
