Customers like the stiffness of the brush. For example, they say it has good backbone, the bristles will get soft, and spread out into a nice shape. Customers also say the brush has awesome shave comfort, and the hair is stiff enough to lift the hairs off their skin. That said, some say the brstles aren't too rough at all.

Customers like the shedding of the product. They mention that it does not shed hair, there is no loss of brush hairs, and that the shaving cream has drastically reduced the occurrence of ingrown hairs.

65 customers mention38 positive27 negative

Customers are mixed about the size of the brush. Some mention it's big and sturdy, while others say that it' a little larger than they would have preferred. The brush is a bit too big for their liking, and the handle is big.

"...Secondly, the boar smell quickly disappears on this brush. The odor upon opening the brush from its packaging was strong...." Read more

"...the morning and using it for the past week, I can still smell some of that special smell but only if I'm holding it next to my nose which I don't..." Read more

"...It's not a very strong scent (at least after a wash), so it's easily covered up by whatever soap you end up using with it, but still worth..." Read more

17 customers mention8 positive9 negative

Customers are mixed about the bristles of the brush. Some mention that they are firm, with no lost bristle in over 4 months of use, while others say that they loose a few bristlets every few days. However, some say that the brush is still good for lathering hard soaps.

"...On my first shave, a couple bristles came out (I guess to be expected). The load came up about 3/4 of the bristles, evenly...." Read more

"...Very minimal bristle shed with the first use with no additional shed post break-in...." Read more

"...It has broken in very nicely. It has lost a few more bristles, but not enough to worry about...." Read more

"...Well constructed. Soft. Easy to create a good lather. Hasn’t shed many bristles over time. Very pleased." Read more

Best bang for your buck.

Best bang for your buck.
I originally bought this brush because I was needing to swap to a different shaving soap for my sensitive skin. I went with this one because of the reviews saying it was very well-made and would not fall apart. Not only do I agree but the Omega brush is amazing for the following reasons.Firstly, the build quality is great. The black Omega 10049 shaving brush has a 42mm wide plastic handle with 63mm tall boar bristles. This brush has served me for over 4 years now, and besides minor water damage to the Omega sticker on the handle, it looks brand new. The bristles on the brush have completely kept their original shape and hold. When I started using it the first week, only a few loose hairs came out, but soon after they immediately stopped. Now it only rarely ever sheds a hair about once a month.Secondly, the boar smell quickly disappears on this brush. The odor upon opening the brush from its packaging was strong. Still, just after a week and a half of using the brush to shave, it completely disappeared. I was amazed at how surprisingly quickly the smell disappeared compared to the other brushes I have used. I compare this with the brush I have now which is the rosewood boar bristle brush by Parker. I have been using that brush for more than a month now and can still smell the boar odor on it. Omega does carry a synthetic bristle brush, but the build is much lower compared to the boar bristle one.The third reason this brush is amazing is because of the lather it produces. With the 63mm tall bristles, lathering becomes effortless and only takes 8-10 seconds to completely foam up in my shaving mug. (Comparing this with the previously mentioned Parker boar brush which takes a solid minute for a good lather.) As for the actual lather, I have used this brush on Poraso’s shaving soap, Mitchell's wool fat shaving soap, and even a Dove’s sensitive bar of soap, yet none of these was any problem whatsoever for the Omega brush to create a rich foamy lather on. The big handle makes it extremely easy for stirring in a shaving mug compared to trying to stir up a lather with smaller shaving brushes. Finally, my last reason for why this brush is so amazing is the price point. With there being no quality badger brushes under 80 dollars and the average boar brush on amazon being around 20 dollars, this brush is a steal. Even comparing the other brushes that similarly sit around ten dollars you will not get the same amount of quality as this brush. It is truly the best bang for your buck. The only negative about this brush is that it does not come with its own stand. Luckily, this brush is easily compatible with the popular Perfecto Deluxe shaving stand that is also on amazon.Overall, I highly recommend you pick this brush up and give it a try. Attached is a photo of the Omega boar brush in the Perfecto Deluxe stand, and a photo of it with the Parker boar brush.
