To fight the Trafalgar battle, in Italy the Pennellificio Omega is going to release the new synth brush: Roma.
These days I used the Omega Roma shaving brush, in the Colosseum version. I compared it to its natural antagonist: • Omega Roma Colosseum, Nylon, 31x55x105mm, 84g • Alexander Simpson Trafalgar T3, Sovereign, 32x53x103mm, 86g Both great brushes. Very effective, they differ in a few details. Obviously the aesthetics, which show some inaccuracies in the italian. But also the setting of the fiber, very similar in a general sense. Roma a little more compact, both in form and in dynamics. Looking at them from above they wouldn't seem so close. In real life T3 looks one size bigger. But it is easier to use. In fact I believe that the settings underneath the node are different. The composure of Rome is also noticeable in practice. More massage (backbone), it opens less easily. Although slightly, I found the laying of the foam in English faster and more precise. However, both offer excellent performance at a great price. Wanting to give a practical indication, I suggest you evaluate your needs. More delicate skin may prefer the slightly higher sweetness of T3. As well as the use in FL by users with large hands, given the more comfortable grip. But in the end these are subtleties, compared to a substantial parity.
I bought a Simson T3 several weeks ago and have used it quite a bit so far. Great brush! I have now ordered an Omega Roma Colosseum and it should arrive in about a week. I am looking forward to comparing the two brushes.
