+1. Love the handle!

Got a Zenith on the way. It has aluminum handle made in Italy, and is supposedly very high quality brush. I'll report back after I receive it and get a few shaves in with it.

sounds great....I went to a antique shop today. I found a brush there but it was tiny. I don't think it was of much quality.

There are a few around town I should check them out.....anything your looking for I can keep an eye out.

I've had my Zenith for 2 weeks. The aluminum handle is great , very solid and gripped from the top to lather in a mug it fits the hand perfectly. Hard to believe but the knot is actually denser than my Omega barber brushes. With repeated soakings in hot water it broke in over a couple of days. Its unique because that Aluminum handle really is a throwback to the old days when barbers used aluminum handle boars.

I find the backbone to be very similar to the Omega but the hairs are thinner. Very interesting brush.

Love the big Omega 10049 knot.
