Hi I was wondering if there was a recommended site to buy Omega brushes?
index
I was going to buy from there but it says the store is closed...
http://www.razorandbrush.com/631.jpg
I saw some Shavemacs on SRD that had a similar handle but the only one they have left is a 26mm, I'm interested in 20-22.
Anyone know where I can find one of these, or something with a similar handle?
Thanks
If you visit the shavemac site (Shavemac - Badger Shaving Brushes - Straight Razors - Safety Razors - Shaving Soaps) you can custom order a brush from Bernd. He's excellent to deal with. And you could order a handle very similar to that Omega in whatever quality of hair you like, in the knot size and loft you prefer. Good luck.Quote:

www.shoeboxshaving.com has taken over almost all of the Omega line that was sold at Barbiera Italiana, so you should be able to get them there.
PENNELLIFICIO OMEGA - OMEGA BRUSH - home page
there site seems to be working...?
does there homepage only do bulk orders?
Thank you I'll check out those links and see how it goes.
That's the place I was originally going to order from and I sent an e-mail and it said that the e-mail address didn't exist...then I checked the home page and saw this. Would be easier if that was open since the other places seem to be out of the country
"The Store is temporarily closed. Other pressing engagements force me to temporarily close the Barbieria Italiana webstore. This will be a temporary shut-down and we hope to re-open for business in the near future. Thanks!"
Bummer. they have the largest selection of omega brushes I can find anywhere.
Yeah and the prices were at least 30% cheaper.
I just purchased a Shavemac 429, although not the retro line I was looking for, but $55 I decided to grab it.
Time to order a strop, some creams from TGQ and get my razor honed (which I also just received, Otto Deutsch Hans :D) and I'm ready to go.

I just found Omega bushes on Rasage Poulin, as well. Not only that, but he's got some nice looking Edwin Jagger boars...
And of course I just promised my wife to cut down on my spending for the summer! :rant::rant::rant:
I get page loading errors on the shoebox shaving site so I didn't really look at it. Of course now that I just bought a brush I see the one I wanted
Omega 632 Silvertip Shaving Brush: Rasage Poulin : Fine Wet Shaving Supplies : Calgary, Alberta Canada
Oh well there's always later.
