Pros & Cons
Pros
It, too, is the culmination after decades of double-edge-razor purchases. Barber shops press the long bristles sideways with their fingers to shape it and apply around face and mouth. Great brush if your first getting into wet shaving.
Your brush no longer stinks anymore. They are much nicer and much better quality then brushes that sell for 10 times more. Great price for a good honest brush.
This omega bests my badgers and even one silvertip i owned. I slightly prefer this to my van der haggen badger brush because the bristles are slightly stiffer.
Pro lather is a whole 'nother world. The loft is high but that does not mean this ain't good for face lathering. Whiskers are longer than other brands but it lathers up very nicely.
It softens up and loses that rough feel. The bristle gives a tingle to my face. It holds water pretty well. I like the stiffness and it holds its shape when wet and soapy.
Cons
This omega boar brush seems to just take the soap but not really lather at all. It is a large brush and the stiffer bristles are nice, but disappointed in the lathering ability. If you enjoy being covered in boar bristles, this is the brush for you!
Highlights
Quality
Very good control on the face and stiff enough to brush the skin against the facial hair grain and really softness the beard
This is the best shave brush ive had in past 30 years
It does not impede the brush or the quality just something i thought would fade with use and has not
Still just after a week and a half of using the brush to shave it completely disappeared
Price
Great price for a good honest brush
Overall for the price this is a great shaving brushso good in fact that i actually ordered one to gift to my dad
If you can have only one brush or have a limited budget this is the one
For the measly 10 bucks and free shipping if you have prime or bundle it with something to reach the free shipping its a heck of a deal
Packaging/appearance
The odor upon opening the brush from its packaging was strong
Attached is a photo of the omega boar brush in the perfecto deluxe stand and a photo of it with the parker boar brush
Competitiveness
Luckily this brush is easily compatible with the popular perfecto deluxe shaving stand that is also on amazon
I find all omega brushes to be top quality and value priced and none have ever lost more than a bristle or two
Even comparing the other brushes that similarly sit around ten dollars you will not get the same amount of quality as this brush
After a couple weeks of using only this brush i went back to my favorite badger brush for one shave as a comparison

For me however i find the bristles are too long
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
They tend to paint the lather on like a paintbrush rather than scrubbing with splayed ends
