Dean there is no doubt that the crystal is genuine, its the heaviest brush I have ever held by far; you could probably bludgeon someone to death with it....
That is one gorgeous brush, Aaron. Are those the ends of the hairs coming down through the middle? That looks really nice. I hope it lives up to all it's potential and that the performance is equal to that of it's looks. Congratulations on acquiring a real work of art.
with the price of it and how fantastic it looks i'd be getting some rubber floor tilles just in case happens
I had a vintage ceramic handled brush once. I reccommend standing on a queen sized matress while shaving.
It would appear so, the shape seems quite more bulbous than my other Omega's, which is fine by me its more like a Plisson in that respect. Hah no kidding, just lanoleum and a rug; I'm actually more worried about my feet than the brush.....
I own four brushes, each one has it's own personality. Each one lathers slightly different, I enjoy each brush I have. I do not look for the perfect brush, rather the brush that will get the job done. I have nor purchased any high brushes nor do I intend to. Will I buy more brushes yes, simply to have a rotation of brushes to use. Every product we use in wet shaving is a personal choice, what might work for me might not work for anyone else. The joy of wet shaving is using a variety of products for the morning ritual. I do not think the perfect product should be the goal, rather the product that works best for yourself. Merry Christmas.
Well, I saved the brush till Christmas Eve, and my mother unwrapped it for me, she almost gave me a heart attack when she just reached in and pulled it out by the tips of the bristle and just about dropped it haha.... Usage of the brush is probably the most comical experience I have ever dealt with, more so than any large brush I have. The handle is so heavy, that when I soak the brush it collapses the bristles on themselves into the bottom of the mug, and while I'm at it the knot is huge; once the brush is loaded up it doesn't want to fit back in the mug to dip the tips..... I don't think its a feasible option for many, I mean I even had to readjust my custom brush stand haha.... Here you can see it all loaded up with TOBS Almond and I really can't wait to see the bloom as its probably going to be massive; the tips seem whiter than my other Omega's too.
Thanks Dean, the crystal comes to life with good lighting, I think my favorite part though is how white the tips are; whiter than all my other Omega's. Just so you can see, its not just the sun but in my SOTD you can see it too..
At the rate I'm going its gonna be nothing but Omega's... My credibility is going down the tubes, I'm gonna be tagged the "Omega Fanboy" sigh.
Looks like a 'White Christmas' at Aarons....Atta boy Aaron...I'm proud of you....Keeping a great tradition alive, of contributing to your shave cave during the holidays.....We might be grown but we still need a reason to lose sleep waiting for that special Christmas goodie...lol I was afraid from your original post that you were backing off from BAD......I glad I was wrong and congratulations on that beauty....She's certainly 'Centerfold' worthy....Next year you can put the Christmas tree lights on her and use her for the tree...lol.
Holy smokes! That is beautiful! I would have to line my bathroom with bubble wrap to be sure it didn't break if it slipped out of my hands!! How's the weight of it?
Mike its extremely heavy, I should put it on a scale but its the heaviest brush I have ever held. Like I said, its so heavy that when I soak the brush in a mug it completely collapses the bristle; I can't even let it sit in a bowl or it will just fall into the lather.
