Thread: is there a boar brush equivalent of the wee scot?

i truly do love my wee scot.. i love facelathering and a wee scot lets me really work at it.. but i'm wondering.. are there smaller sized boar brushes out there? seems to me that most boar brushes are a bit larger.. now the wee scot has a 14mm knot.. which i guess could be considered a bit too small for most.. but how about a boar brush with say an 18mm knot? anyone know of one?

Try the Omega 21047.

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

thanks jim.. i was just wondering.. i was also going to check out the golden nib and see if i could fashion something up..

i'm sure nothing will ever replace the wee scot though.. i absolutely love it.

I just grabbed a knot from the Golden Nib for a brush restore and they are not stocking Boar knots anymore so there is not a large selection of them and once they are gone they are gone.

wondering.. what are the differences between the 21047 that you've suggested and the 11047 that is offered by westcoastshaving?

i just recieved the 11047 and am in love.. it's only now that i notice the number difference.

I have an Omega and I think you will like it!

so as an update.. all the photos i see online show the brush labelled pura sertola.. however.. the brush in my hands is labelled tasso & setola..

what's tasso? my translater claims it's rate..

Tasso is badger.

Ha! They finally copped to it. When I got mine, I KNEW it was a mixed brush, but Omega kept telling people it was a mix of special boar bristles.

jim..

i can't thank you enough for recommending this brush to me.. it's probably the best facelathering brush i've ever used.. and the size is perfect..

first the wee scot and now this.. you really are a great guy to know..

thank you.

Victor,

It's my pleasure. It's a great brush, just hard for my big hands to use. Enjoy!
