Thread: Floppy Omega 31064?

When I first received this, it seemed about perfect, and made me wonder why I had spent so much $ on high-grade badgers.

After using it for awhile (12 times?), the dynamics have changed. Dry, it still feels stiff and prickily but once it hits the lather it turns into a flopmeister.

I know that boars evolve and are supposed to become "better" with use, but now my 31064 is the floppiest brush I own. It feels like I'm painting my face with a soft sponge and, frankly, I don't like it much anymore. I guess I'm asking if anyone else has had this experience. It's not that I enjoy prickly brushes: my badgers are all silvertips. But this thing has matured into something I did not expect.

Can't say that I have...Of course I don't own an Omega banded Boar shaving brush either.

The only Omega brushes I own are silvertip badger. I love both of them.

I've got a 31064 and have been extremely happy with it!

Floppy would be about the last word to describe it...

Same here. Never heard anyone else call that brush floppy.

well i dont have a omega but i do have a semogue 2000 with the same loft and knot size. it is as stiff as a wet strand of spaghetti . useing it is sorta like painting your face with a overloaded paintbrush. i have to use twice as much soap or lather too as shes soaks up so much. iam not swearing off boar yet but my badgers are way ahead of this boar

"Using it is like using an overloaded paintbrush." Yeah, that pretty much is the way my Omega feels.
