Thread: Surprising little brush

The 4 i got are all different sizes. Its going to be fun playing with them and finding what size is best.

Almost 2 weeks on daily shaving with the Little Bambino and it is almost broken in. Performance has been just great and it has earned a permanent spot in my travel brush line up.

Been using a Palmolive shave stick the past few days and have gotten just super nice shaves using a straight razor. Love the pleasant scent of the Palmolive shave stick as it reminds me of when I started shaving about 50 years ago using Palmolive shave cream. Palmolive, just as good as ever.

That’s awesome. Thanks for the update. It’s great when it all works!

I began to brake in my behemoth as recommended - I soaked it in the fridge, lathered it up a few times and worked the tips on a towel. I can totally see why people like these. Especially considering the cost. But at the end of the day, mine is just too big. It sits in the display case.

I ordered two more though! Woot. Smaller of course.

The Omega 10066 seems to me to be about the right size for an every day boar brush.

Nice! It just so happened I was shopping at a European store and they had the new Nom's. I got a black and a boar. Both 21 mm I think.

nom | made in germany

It's all fun until you lose your savings lol!! JK

10066 does seen to me the perfect size too. I used the bambino a few days ago. Tiny, but enough backbone to do the job. A bit more work to get the lather i like but do-able. And for the size of the Bambino, it will easy to put in a shave kit. Thanks to Bob for finding and testing this little brush. I need more time with it before it breaks in, but i can see that the Omega Boar hair brushes are a nice quality hair. At the moment, without them being completely broken in they are not holding the lather as well. But i can tell they soon will.

Wanted to add that the Pro 49 brush was NOT impressive. I found the handle to be a nice beefy size that fit great in the hand but, The knot was lacking. It was like they forgot to put in a "lot" of hairs. It should have been made much more dence for that size of knot. I found it a little on the floppy side and this was with only two shaves with it. So its not going to get tighter or stiffer! in the fututre it will make for a nice handle to re-knot but thats about what I think of it. And they give it the name PRO? Its not right IMO!
