Thanks and not yet. A quick Google shows them selling thru other sites but not found a site for them yet. I'll look further though.

Here are a few of mine, I have others which are still new and a few others I do not really like using. The one on the right is an Oumo flat top.

I used it a few times then put it to the back of my cupboard and forgot about it! After taking it out to take a group photo I think I will put into my rotation once again!

Which omega is the yellow one?

Which omega is the yellow one?

I think it is the 10075 with a 22mm/48mm knot, which I bought from Dambiro for less than 4 Euro. It's very nice in the shave actually, holds enough lather for 2-3 passes and it's very scrubby, keeps it's shape when it's been soaked.

Would be a shame not to use it!

Mine aren't as refined as most but 1st pic is what I currently have. Middle of bottom 3 is a mixed Boar/Badger. 2nd pic is on the way and last pic are knots in awaiting a handle.

 

[culcreuch]

and the jade without the logo

I actually like the logo!

I actually like the logo!

Me too, that's why I bought this first (was looking for this as 2nd hand) But overall the jade has the best knot/loft ratio for face lathering... That's why I need to replicate it

Is that a real vintage 400? I have been looking at 400 tributes but I don't want a synthetic (I have other synthetics I like already) but the only boar ones I see are the real deal, apart from a few Crown King ones with the swappable knots.

I have had all 3 Model Rubberset 400's. No number, 3 and 4. The number designated the loft, they were all the same diameter 24mm. I now have an original 400 with a no number ferrule and a #4 ferrule. The others are extra ferrules in 24 mm and 26 mm were turned by a member in South Africa. @Clouds on most forums. I gots options The boar is a Great Oumo Boar I installed in one of the ferrules.
