I know Gio carries it, but his store is closed for a while.

I can vouch for the above vendor. I ordered one Thursday before last and got it Wednesday of last week. So far I've used it 3 times and it's breaking in nicely. It was also easier to de-stink than the larger 48 Pro Omega.

I have a 31025 and recently also got myself a 31064 and a 11150. These brushes really rock with creams too, just to bust the popular myth that boars are bad with creams...

With Indian Shaving creams, I get enough lather worked up with my 31025 for 3 fullsome passes, plus all the extra to splurge all around the mirror and the walls too ;)

I recently acquired a 31064 and I really like it. Much softer on the face than I expected, but not as soft as my badgers - maybe after it breaks in after a few weeks of use it'll get softer. But it's a great brush - the handle size and shape feels good in my hands - the loft is bigger than I expected but not too big... The style of the thing is obviously not like traditional English shaving brushes, but I do like the looks of it - with the two toned clear/black handle. Whips up a good lather, this one... haven't tried it with creams yet though

I wouldn't say that boars are bad with creams but I do think badgers rule there. Using hard soaps however, especially with face lathering, a good boar is (in my book) about the best you can get!

I bought mine from the site in the UK that must not be named. Shipping was no more expensive than buying it in the US. And it was delivered to the Pacific Northwest in about the same time (or less) as any domestic shipper. Service from the UK site has been excellent. You will have to send the not to be name UK site an email message and ask for a link to add the brush as it is not listed on his website.

Em's Place (http://www.emsplace.com/products.htm) is supposed to be getting them in May. Her service has also been outstanding.

I am 4 shaves into my 31064. It's my 3rd Omega boar. The faceted handled provides a nice great and the heavy lucite adds nice balance. The loft is smaller than my 10049. Acquired mine on the board here.

I have also been using my 31064 for a few shaves now and finding it a bit hard to get used to the lesser density of the knot after having been spoiled by the higher end badger brushes.

I'm expecting a 31064 by Saturday..I got it from a vendor in Florida, who has not been closed due to work related matters..It was under $30 including shipping..I received the shipping notification notice within 20 minutes of posting payment..The communication after the sale has been outstanding....

The best of smooth shaves,
