lathers well..

Posted by T. on 6th Apr 2012

When I opened the box this Omega brush looked much bigger than I thought. It lathers extremely well on my hard shaving soap but as any boar brush it doesn't hold quite as much water and therefore you have to re-lather but that's not really an issue. The bristles are so large that I covered my entire face with lather within seconds. It has plenty of backbone but the bristles feel as soft as a silvertip and this on the first shave already! I have a heavy beard and yet my shave went extremely well and smoothly. One minor caveat is the large handle: It is almost too big to hold in my not that small hands. Still, this brush is great value for your money, with its long loft and its wide knot it holds plenty of lather for a boar brush and it does give you the much sought-after exfoliation action to soften the toughest beards.
