Omega Bambino Praise

I got one of these about a week and a half ago prior to being a counselor at a church camp for a week. I shaved there every day and used Arko in stick form. Also, my face will only tolerate 2 passes on jawline and up and one pass + a tad on my neck (I have found that xtg & atg are okay from jaw up, and 1 severe xtg, meaning 20-ish degrees from full atg, on my neck is acceptable and yields great results).

For my purposes, this brush is fantastic! I face lather and I am not a huge person, so the splay of longer lofted brushes leaves me little room to swirl lather without it getting in ears and stuff. I also really like the Omega Mixed Midget (11047) for the same reasons. I am planning on giving the Omega 40033 a try as well.

The handle is great and performance is great. the Bambino has shed very few hairs, maybe ten, but at a much slower/non-existent rate than my mixed midget has.

Thanks for opening my eyes to this great lifestyle!

Im happy its working out for you. I highly recommend the 40033, its very cheap and performs really really well. It softens up nicely but still has back bone.

Tis my favorite brush, Though I have the 'bigger' version. More handle.

Use it on my travels as well - great brush

40033 has the best knot of the bunch with soft tips and superb backbone when broken in. I have re-handled the knot and could not be happier.

Thread revival because I used mine again today and was so pleased -- plenty for three passes with Speick stick.
It shed a bit in the early going but has not lost a hair for a good while.
Truly one of my better $5 shaving purchases.

Great for you man!

Looks like a great little travel brush. I need to get one also.
