I've been building a collection of small animal unfriendly Omega brushes after my first acquisition from Amazon which was the 11047. I was seriously impressed by the balance of softness, backbone and its surprising ability to hold enough lather for a 3-pass shave.
On the back of this purchase I bought the 40033 from Connaught to replace my Wilkinson Sword brush which has given me good service to be fair but, I fancied the change and a Boar brush doesn't exactly break the bank.
The Bambino and the 599 were purchases from Maggard I've just received and I haven't used them as yet.
Unfortunately, after what can't be more than a dozen shaves, the handle on the 40033 has started to crack.
It's obvious that the Boar hair is swelling when wet and causing this cracking.
Just to be clear, I'm not aiming anything at Connaught here. I know they're a very reputable Company.
Though I do hang the brush after use, I'm guilty of leaving a boar brush to soak in the wash basin before use rather than just immerse only the knot in a bowl so, this is very much an error on my part. I do prefer a boar brush to any other type and I'll probably just replace it and be more sensible in future.
Saying that, it would be a great excuse to replace it with that very nice Omega jade boar that Connaught stock that looks to have a very sturdy handle, even though it wouldn't exactly match the rest of the midget family.
Is there a medical name for chronic brush acquisition?
