Omega Elite Series?

Sam, synthetics behave much differently than badgers and, although big, it does not feel huge. My guess is that a 29 mm synthetic knot is comparable to a 24 mm badger knot. As about exact diameter I do not have a caliber to measure it precisely, but at naked eye 28-29 mm seems correct.

This is so helpful Marco. It is a conclusion I should have drawn on my own, certainly having experienced it.

My 24mm and 26mm badger brushes are monstrous in size. I tried one of the 24mm brushes again today, a Yaqi Mysterious Space 2 Band, in the spirit of the weekly theme of dusting off unused things to see if we feel differently about them now.

I was really trying to see how the knot was, because I am so happy with the Simpson Duke 2 Best you recommended to me. I do have some 24mm synthetics that are not such a problem.

I am finding that small badger brushes are really the best for me, though.

I don’t have one as I think it is waaaay too big for my tiny face.

Thanks, @Marco (as always ! )

I have a CH2 synth (pre-Sov/Plat split) @27mm and it's a little large for me.

@Marco, after much deliberation and continuing to see the use this brush gets from you, it is now on my shopping list.
So... Thank you ... I think.

Now I just need to find someone who sells it in Canada (don't want to deal with Customs) ... or wait until my next visit to my sister-in-law in the US and have it delivered there.

Wonderful news, Sam! Please, do let me know your thoughts once you finally have the opportunity to get it and test it!

I would be interested in this brush possibly...

I have been eyeing that brush also.

Omega make very good brushes.

Ok. Found the message I received directly from Omega sometime ago.

“- dei 7 pennelli presentati (4 GT + 3 Vintage),
- 5 (MB1917, MB1918, MB1919, MB1920, MB1923) hanno nodo 29 mm x 54 mm
- 2 (MB1921 e MB1922) hanno nodo 26 mm x 50”

Is it true though? The Italian YouTuber Andrea Tarenzi measured the 1921 and it has the same knot as the other elites.
