re Omega 10108: When sticker is completely gone on handle - brush is truly broken in, the 57 mm lofted knot will not really bloom just get split ends and soft tips while keeping backbone not sure how Omega brushes with higher lofts react.
a good little brush another one that's good for face lathering what colour did you getI've caught the 'Boar brush flu' too..Just ordered a Omega 10077..to add with the rest of my humble boar brush collection.
The blue one, but if i get any of the colours i'll be happy.a good little brush another one that's good for face lathering what colour did you get
Two drops, two chips. They add character, I guess.I love the look of the painted handle Semogues but have read they suffer with the paint flaking off, any truth to that? I'm sorely tempted to grab a 1305.
Praise the Lord.I opened a commode in which I also put some shaving stuff and found this...

Left to right: Semogue: 1305,1470,830,1438. Erasmic: Boar bristle. Wilkinson Sword:Boar bristle.
Every month i wash & scrub them with a old toothbrush in a mild solution of washing up liquid and a small amount of white vinegar,then condition them with Cien Tea tree hair conditioner, which leaves them smelling nice, and workable.
They are all wonderful working brushes once broken in IMHO, my joint favourites would the Semogue: 1305 & 1470 both brushes i find are good for face or bowl lathering, with either soap or creams. I love my boar brushes.

And here I thought all the crazies were to be found on the Lovers of Pre-war Latvian Celluloid Eyedropper Fountain Pen forum. Man, it looks like I really need to up my game.
Absolutely nothing. These pens are amazing. Especially the ones made between July 1937 and March 1938. After that the pens suffered because of the shortage of good celluloid. At least that's what I hear.And what may I ask is wrong with Pre war Latvian Celluloid Eyedropper Fountain Pens????
