Lathering Performance
Boar bristle is stiff when it is new and softens as it is used. The tips split over the first few weeks of shaving, and as they do the knot becomes softer against the face and holds more lather. Boar keeps more backbone than badger throughout its life, which is why it lifts soap out of a hard puck so easily. The 10049 is one of the larger Omega professional knots, so it carries a great deal of lather in one load.
Who This Brush Is Best For
Boar has the backbone to lift soap straight out of a hard puck.
A large professional knot holds lather for several passes over.
Omega boar brushes give a lot of brush for the money.
Getting the Best from Your Brush
- Soak the knot in warm water for a minute or two before you start, then shake out the excess.
- Load the brush by working it over the soap or cream until the hair is fully charged.
- Build the lather in a bowl or on the face, adding water a little at a time until it turns glossy.
- Give a new boar brush a few weeks of regular use to break in. The tips split as the brush is used, which makes it noticeably softer and better at holding lather.
Adding water gradually rather than all at once is the usual difference between a thin lather and a thick one.
Care and Storage
Soak the bristles in warm water for a minute or two before the shave, not boiling water. Rinse the knot thoroughly after every shave until the water runs clear, then squeeze the water out gently without twisting the knot and leave the brush to dry in a well ventilated place.
