I think Glen brought up a good point in his post. It does take a while for a boar to break in fully. I wonder how many people give up on a boar brush before it has broken not realizing how it takes to break in.

I'll bet a lot of people do give up on their brushes saying this brush sucks etc. After about 3 months of everyday use my boar brush is mint. It was good after a few weeks but that 3 months is where it hit the sweet spot for me. Builds awesome lather. I love omega boar. Have fun breaking in the omega Bob they are quality brushes!
