I've been using an Omega 10049 boar for the past 9 months as my only brush. I'm thinking about getting another brush, more for variety than need. The Omega is an awesome brush, but I'm thinking about something a hair smaller with more back bone. I have been looking at the Semogue 1305. Anyone use one or have used both the Omega 10049 and the Semogue 1305 and have a comparison opinion?
