I Pennelli Omega S-Brush è una novità del 2014 ed è un prodotto studiato per avere una morbidezza e una resa di schiumatura, nella sua categoria, senza eguali. Grazie alla Setola S-Brush infatti i Pennelli Omega di questa categoria hanno una morbidezza che la setola di maiale non riesce ad avere e allo stesso tempo riescono a rendere in termini di schiuma. E' un prodotto adatto anche alle religioni che non possono entrare in contatto con le classiche setole di maiale. Brushes Omega S-Brush is a novelty in 2014 and is a product designed to have a softness and a yield of foaming in its category like no other. Thanks to the S-Bristle Brush fact Brushes Omega in this category have a softness that the bristle pig fails to have and at the same time are able to make in terms of foam. It 'a product suitable to the religions that can not get in touch with the classic pig bristle.
I've sent mail to them, asking about these brushes, but haven't got answer. I've also seen them on one italian oonline store starting from 3-4 euros.
In other forum http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php/401569-New-Omega-S-BRUSH-(PRO)?p=6431512#post6431512 they wrote me: this might not be new, it might just be an undyed version of their previous synthetic (artificial badger) fiber. Similar to when they relegated their Syntex fiber to the "value" range when they came out with the artificial badger, now that they have the Hi Brush, this is their value range. It's got that same yellow base look that the old fiber did without the grey tops. I am confused,hope to answer to your mail.
With the price of a completed brush at 3 or 4 euros means that it is a very low level (perhaps at best a Generation 2) fiber.
That is why I am slowly leaving the process of keeping track of synthetics. Now every company is going to the fiber manufacturers that supply the cosmetic brush industry and a whole lot of different and cheap fibers are coming out, along with some better more expensive ones. Too many players and too many choices now. Not a bad thing entirely, but you have to be careful when buying as well.
So this is what the answered me: Close to one one of HiBrush? Maybe just undyed. Also, here is the link to whick I was refering: http://www.dolcimascolo.com/shop/omega-s-brush/1726-omega-s-brush-s10065.html 4.90euros? if they are undyed HiBrush, can't beat that value at all.
