It might just take a few tries to break in the brush. I have been using my new Omega for about 2 weeks and it just just now at the stage boar brushes reach where all the tips are starting to split, making it nice and soft and a lather machine.

That is the only downside to boar in my opinion, it just takes a while to break in. But if you have a proper boar brush you will love it after it gets there.
