There seems to be a wave of interest in boar brushes in the different boards recently. Even our own Xman is now a pork-o-phile.

My Omega Prof 10098 has been seeing a lot of use lately, and I have to say, used correctly and properly broken in, the lowly boar is second to none. The tips are very soft, the bristles have a lot of backbone, and they whip up lots of lather very quickly. But the key is patience in breaking it in, and learning to use it.

For about $15, a good boar brush is definitely worth a try. I have been having so much fun with my Omega, that I have a Semogue 1305 on the way. I was lucky enough to get one since Leon is always sold out!
