    Default Need a hand choosing a brush

    Looking to get a silvertip for $60-$70.

    I like something soft for creams.....not really stiff.

    I hate tiny brushes and I hate huge brushes.

    So far my choices is are down to these two:

    Omega 620


    Ht: 110 mm Loft: 55 mm Base: 55 mm Knot: 23 mm

    or

    Muhle 091K257


    Ht: 100 mm Loft: 54 mm Base: 46 mm Knot: 21 mm


    Note, the Omega dimensions are similar to my Omega 10005 boar, which I really like the feel of it.

    You won't go wrong with either. The Omega is very soft. The handle is more substantial than your boar since it's solid acrylic and not hollow plastic.
    The caveat is that it blooms quite a bit when wet and will feel larger on your face than the Muhle or your boar.
    The handle on the Muhle is shorter but still has a good grip.

    I've had both brushes and preferred the Muhle. YMMV.
