Thread: Omega Badgers???

So the other day, I was on the Barbaria Italiana site and noticed that they have the full line of Omega brushes. I love my cheap Proraso Omega brush, and was wondering if anyone had any experience with the rest of their line. their badger brushes are graded all the way up to finest silvertip, and they offer some beautiful shapes and materials, at what seem like bargain prices. They have a fine reputation as a company, so I feel as though anything they make must be pretty decent.

For what it's worth, the Proraso brush I bought month's back sat on the shelf for a while after I bought a silvertip, but I've been using it more and more lately. It took some practice to get used to, but I absolutely love it with the hard Proraso soap dishes. Great stuff.

Wow, never knew this. I do like my Omega boar brush a lot, now that's it's softened a bit especially. Not sure I have any more room for brushes, which means I'll probably get one.

I've been looking into the Omega badgers my self, and so far everything I've heard as been quite positive.

They have a strong following on B&B, and there are several excellent threads about them over there. Enough good that I have a couple on my must have list starting with the adorable "Sunshine" brush.

Omega's Silvertips are some of the softest brushes - very luxurious.

Yes, someone may consider them floppy - but they make fabulous lather, even with hard soaps. YMMV, of course

Cheers

I've heard very positive things also.
