I had my eye on that. Was surprised it sold as quickly as it did. Looks very nice.

Hello! How does this brush compare to the previous Omega Evo 2 model?
EclipseRedRing
I smell like a Christmas pudding
Could it be a Plisson?
I have no idea who makes this brush, but it's in NOS condition, label says "PUR BLAIREAU" and "VULCANISÉ" Anybody have a clue?

Seems to be the consensus. I sent their customer service on the Plisson website a picture of the brush, waiting on a reply.
Good luck with that...
I think it is an excellent brush, for those who may like a little more backbone and scrub than the EVO 2, while still having very soft tips. As of now, after three shaves, I prefer the EVO 2, but I know that with time these new fibers give in a little bit. I want to see if there is any difference after 30-40 shaves. Also, since the bigger knot and the higher loft, I was expecting to feel more "surface" and "volume" on the face than the EVO 2, but they seem to be very comparable.
The handle is simply beautiful.
Thanks for the reply. About an hour ago, an acquaintance of mine tried to explain to me in detail what the qualities of this brush are. They generally overlap with what you say.
According to him, it is rough and not as delicate as Evo2, something like knot G5C, which I could not like.
I'm with you there.... My latest SV brush was sent FedEx from Italy.... They didn't manage the paperwork well and it was stuck in the US Department of Fish and Wildlife for quite a few days. I had to fill out an import form and make a couple calls to FedEx before the delivery was bumped up to the next level. After the escalation, the order moved very quickly and was delivered in just a couple more days. UPS seems to be better equipped to get packages through US Customs without a hitch. I don't know about other countries, but both DHL and UPS have provided excellent service delivering packages shipped from outside the States.
I kinda know this from FEDEX!!! UPS is much better. so is DHL or postal service from Germany....
Lovely new Shavemac, 24mm ST 2-Band. Couldn't be happier with it.
Been on a butterscotch kick lately. I had a fantastic conversation with Anna who had this hand tied for me. Really great process. Not surprisingly, Simpson Manchurian has the backbone I’ve been looking for to supplement the rest of my brush rotation. Not my first one, so as expected. Hoping it breaks in nicely.
Semogue SOC Mistura arrived today. This is my first dip into anything with real Badger hair. The knot is insanely stiff to start and a bit scritchy as far as I understand the term. More scritchy than the brand new boar brush I picked up last week. Really looking forward to seeing how this breaks in.
Also, this may be the most comortable handle of all time. Will likely end up with the matching SOC boar at some point.

My father has had two skids of olive oil shipped from Italy via FedEx lost in transit once in the US. With tracking no less.
