I recently bought what I thought was an Omega 48 after hearing about the benefits of boar brushes and their low cost. However, I noticed that the delivery had come from china when I received it. Nothing to worry about at that point, brush looked okay and came in official looking packaging. Lately though, I've noticed it hasn't been breaking in like its supposed to (after 10 or so shaves) and looking at pictures online it looks different than other Omega 48's (no stamped color logo, just printed, and shorter brush). The handle is plastic with the chrome look to it.

Did I get a knockoff or is this the real deal?
