Very much so - yon's a great wee brush. All depends on the seller, of course.
As to the best Omega, I'd plump for the 20102. That is, of course, if I hadn't hand-carved my own handle from Ash and inserted a large Omega boar knot......
Used it this morning in fact.

PhilD said:What are those professional shape handles like for face lathering? I love the way they look, but isn't the shape intended for a barber to slap it on someone elses dial rather than for someone to soap up their own mug? Be interested to know how folk find them in use long term.

My favourite boar is a Rubberset 4 with original knot - I don't think you can beat the shape and the knot is superb and getting better.
BigBoar said:I used a 98 for over 2 years, best brush I've ever owned. I pif'd it when I bought a rubberset style custom from Braveblades, the alloy handle is a thing of beauty, however I made the mistake of having it fitted with a TGN 27mm boar knot. The TGN knot is coming out and an Omega 98 knot is going in.
The softness of tips combined with the chuck norris hardness that the 98 provides is epic...
BigBoar said:Hey Rob, that is a gorgeous brush. The one I got from Braveblades is most definitely it's equal (handle wise). I prefer a real stiff knot. The TGN one is a bit soft.
I have to make this clear, the handle is epic!
