Thread: anyone know about the omega 80097?

just browsing around and i really like the looks of this brush.. it has a nice retro kinda look to it.. and for only $18 with a drip stand included.. it's kinda worth the gamble.. anyone have any experience?

Looks like a boar. For 18 bucks how can you go wrong? It's a basic piece and even if it lasts a couple of years you're ahead of the game as long as you like boar.

yes.. it is a boar bristle brush.. it's available at the superior shave for $18 w/ free shipping.. the specs are.


Weight: 49 grams
Handle Diameter: 39mm
Knot Diameter: 23mm
Overall Height: 106mm
Bristle Loft: 55mm


just wondering if i should go ahead or if i should look for something different in the boar family.

No experience with these Vic,but I have seen omega's sold through barber supply before.My guess is they are probably a decent boar.The retro is a nice look.Check out Col. Conk's long wooden handle pure badger brushes if you like the retro barber look.I have one and I put and eyelet at the end of it and hang it by a lanyard.If I remember correct,it cost something like $25. n change good dependable brush and works very nicely . Tell Nightblade kitty I said Meeeeoooow!

I believe Omega also makes a big Boar called the Bruiser or something like that.It's is also a real cool barber retro looking thing. I'm gonna go stuff my face full O wings...talk to ya laters y'all !

Yeah man, I got one of those for Christmas, and I love it! I started a thread about it:

Since I've had it, I've used the brush about 85% of the time. I still like using my badger now and again, but I have coarse whiskers that really respond well to those stiff boar bristles. Like you said, for 18 bones, how can you go wrong?

I hope this helps, and I look forward to hearing your opinions of it.
