    Default nice job OMEGA

    Omega of Italy has a few new brushes out , and I really applaud them for a nice looking barber pole design on what has been proven over many years to be a great shaving brush....I have a sneaky suspicion that these black and silvertip badger knots are "knot" 28mm...probably 22-24mm....but we will see as they come over the pond to U.S. dealers...

    Kinda retro-cool! Thanks for posting this -- I'd like to see a boar version. I'm wondering about the handle, is it plastic, wood?

    Nice, id like to see Omega improve there brushes more by adding a metal ring at the base of the knot like Semogue.

    Is that not a metal ring I see? Or do you mean a ring were the knot is set? Also I like it.

    Fun looking little brush. If they make a boar I might get one.

    Hmm. A little too cliche? I don't know the exact word..pandering? Kinda cool though.

    If the price was right, I'd order one just for display.

    If it comes in a boar knot, I might indulge myself. :)
