I feel special!

So, a while back, when I first got into this gig, I sent an Email to Omega, the boar brush company, asking for information about their brushes, and wondering about how to get a brush "for review purposes" (hey, I was new!). Looki what they sent me!


I got what has to be their ENTIRE sales catalogue, with posters, brochures, sales info...all their professional brochures! It's nice, in that old-fashioned Italian barbershop kind of way. And, of course, I found something I want. Several somethings, in fact...

So, Thanks Omega! And well done, I'm gonna buy!

Love the Plisson brass handle, waited 10 months for Atkinson's of Vancouver to receive it. It was a size 10, so a little less common than a size 12 or 14. The people at Atkinson's are good people, great service,very kind and understanding. Overall underwhelmed by the Plisson experience. More of a show piece for the display case than a solid daily user.

Ooops, some how lost the first half of my comment above.

I ordered an Omega 599 and 615 from Gio. Awesome mini travel brushes, snow white silvertip's to boot. Actually whiter than my Plisson european white size 10 brass handle. Over a 6 week period my Plisson has lost 6 or 7 hairs. My Omega's have lost 3 between the both of them over a 4 month period!!! Tough little suckers, that are also softer than the Plisson. One of the best bang for buck brush's around.

I shave my head as well as my face, so I get a lot of use out of my badger's

I'm glad the badger works for you! They don't get much badger love--but the boars are something else.

I really love Omega style. I know they're kind of a big, faceless corporation while companies like Shavemac or Simpsons are people you can actually contact and talk to, but they do make good brushes, and man, how cheap can you get?
