Thread: lets talk synthetics

Omega Hi Brush is one nice synthetic. I have a couple Muhle STF (v2) brushes which by the smallest margin edge out the Omega, but then, the Omega is about 1/2 the price. Also in my stable are an Omega S-Brush..outstanding bit of goods for $6 and a 2nd generation Omega synthetic which is vastly under rated. I love them all.......

I love my Omega Syntex. It has to be broken in as hairs are pritty stiff initially. The thing looks so cheap that my mother, after seeing it, bought me a badger brush for Xmas as she felt I needed a proper brush.
It has one more advantage over natural brushes: you need much less soap or cream for a good lather than with a natural hair brush.

I have use some synthetic knots,now 3 band from TGN and Pur-Tech from FS is in my rotation
One day i will by the Omega to test it.

Omega s is the only synthetic I have and see no need to try any more. Works great, travels well and if I leave it somewhere it's cheaper than a number 5 and McDonald's

Cheap Omega with plastic handle and bright white bristles. Soft, it works great with Arko and other face-lather products.
