I love the knots, but there's something irked me about the 10108 which had me pulling the knot and putting it into custom handles like this:
Let's have some fun!
Okay, the 10108 with a 27x55 knot:
Which to my eyes, the handle is a tad too big ... or is it that the knot is a tad short?
... and the 10049 with a 27x62 knot:
Which to my eyes looks fine ...
Side by side:
My preference with the 10049 handle is for the short loft knot that Omega fitted to the Proraso, Goodfellas Smile and the Shave Factory brushes. But they don't have a white handled offering with the 55mm loft knot.
... until now!
Perfect!
The 10108 with the taller loft 62mm knot from the 10049:
... and the 10049 with the shorter loft 55mm knot from the 10108:
Pictured also with the Shave Factory that is factory fitted with the shorter loft 55mm knot.
Voila! The options that Omega forgot to make.
