This brush very much reminds me of the OMEGA 10049 Professional Boar Hair Brush. It's large, relatively long, with a thick handle, a thick knot of boars' hair and of course it's made in Italy. The knot is so dense and rigid that it absolutely shreds through shaving soaps. That fact combined with the large, solid handle make this brush very easy to lather and load with shaving soap. Esthetically the reflective, silver finish of the handle make it very attractive and cool looking. And lastly, for the money, this brush is a fine value. I'm glad I bought it.

Love the tall loft on this brush and good size knot. It is breaking in very nicely and softening up. After the original cleaning with dishwashing detergent and then lathering with soap and leaving overnight, I did the 3-day-in-the-fridge method to further break it in. I also do a palm lather and 5-10 minute rub out on it daily when not using in my rotation.

This is a great brush. Only took a couple of days to soft it up for daily use. I been using Williams shaving soap and a brush for over 50 years. This brush is an excellent buy, plus being a great brush.

Just what I was looking for. I use semi to hard soaps and this brush has the backbone to handle it. Makes great lather in no time. I heard it only gets better with use so I plan on using daily.

Italian made brush is very still and has long bristles to whip up shaving later and raise your beard for a close and comfortable shave. I don't know if it's made by Proraso or marketed by them because at the end of the handle it says OMEGA so I'm guessing it's actually and OMEGA brush in a Proraso box. In any event it's a nice brush for the money, delivered to your door and tax free. Can't beat that. One thing to be aware of, since it's a natural product it will smell like a wet animal when you use it initially. Wash it with a good soap and let it air dry, preferably upside down so water won't rot the base glue that holds the bristles. It should last a very long time if taken care of.
