Victor/Jim,

Based on your recommendation I picked one of these up. Really great for face lathering This brush is now in my top 2!

Thank you,

i'm glad you like it shoki.. it really is a great brush.. it's also in my top 2.. and for only $13.. who could go wrong?

also.. what's your number 1? i'm still in love with my wee scot.. but plan on trying an 18mm silvertip at some point.

Fantastic brush, tiny size. it's actually a mix of boar and...something. I think badger, some people say "special boar hairs."

I just ordered one, because I really like my Wee Scot too, and I prefer to face lather; I figure to give this one a try.

Do you know if it will fit into the same small prescription bottle like the Wee does?

it's slightly larger than the wee scot.. i'll take a side by side photo.. hang out a second.

here they are side by side..

No worries... I'm going to use it anyhow... I like to store the brushes I'm not using in prescription bottles with holes for venting. Keeps them in a rigid container to prevent damage piled in a drawer or box. Most are in the T-60 larger / taller bottle, where the Wee fits perfectly in the smaller T-16 size.

Thanks!

Ahh... it looks closer to the size of the Simpsons Case, which IMHO is also a fine face latherer.

i also store my wee scot in the smaller pill bottle when traveling.. (otherwise it sits on the countertop)

i'm guessing a larger bottle might fit the omega..

i also have been interested in the simpson case.. i've been hesitant to invest if i weren't going to be using it much.. is it really that much more enjoyable than the wee scot?

I believe the performance for face lathering they are very comparable, the Case has just a little larger handle, and knot, but both are great face lathering brushes in my book. Not too stiff, not too floppy, and provide enough massaging the face and whiskers to provide a great shave... two passes easily.
