I do not have much experience in line of boar brushes, was looking for something different than my normal. Seems like a quality brush, soft out of the box, breaking in well and getting even better. I love the handle on this one, its what caught my eye, plus the loft is great as well to face lather with, I think this helps with how soft this is. This brush was a great addition to my already too large collection, couldn't be happier.

Really like this boar brush. If your looking for a reasonably priced brush that has a classic look, this is a great choice. While it's still new, it's seems to be well made and is comfortable in the hand. Makes a nice lather and is comfortable on the face.

This brush is amazing, Although its not mentioned the knot on appears about 25 or 26 mm. It whips up a later incredibly fast once it's been loaded and does best painting your lather on. I used the trick where you soak it in a cup of cold water in the fridge for 2 days and it was immediately broken in. Bristles are nice and soft for a boar brush. This brush fits well in the hand is nice smaller offering compared to the Omega 10098 taller sibling. I ended up getting two by accident so I gave the second one to my barber and I haven't heard any complaints from him either. This would also make a great travel sized brush.
