    Default Reproduction vintage brush

    Just got this reproduction vintage brush today from Heritage Collection. The knot is a 26mm Omega with a loft of 57mm set in a Klenzo model handle. Gave it a quick hand lather and will start to break it in beginning with tomorrow morning's shave.

    The handle is a little small for a sloppy shaver like me, but I have to say it’s rather attractive looking. Now I have to go google the company, as I seem to have a brush issue right now.

    Thanks, I think you'll find they make repo vintage barbers style handles for you sloppy shavers out there.

    Just an update on how the Klenzo is breaking in after 10 or so uses. The tips are flagging nicely but the knot has not bloomed the way my other Omega boar brushes have. No idea why but the Klenzo never the less works as well as the more bloomed Omega brushes I have. All around nice boar brush that I am happy with.

    Upper pic is as new and bottom pick is after 10 uses compared to a well broke in Omega boar brush
