Product Overview
The Omega Hi-Brush 146113 sets a 26 mm Hi-Brush synthetic knot into a chrome plated ABS handle.
At 26 mm this is the largest knot in this group of Hi-Brush models, so it carries more lather per load. The PBT fibre resists odour, needs no soaking and dries within minutes of a rinse. Omega have been making shaving brushes in Italy for decades and are the best known name in boar brushes; the Hi-Brush range is their synthetic line.

Lathering Performance
Synthetic filaments hold water on the surface of the fibre rather than absorbing it, so the knot loads quickly, releases lather freely and shakes almost dry in seconds. There is no break in period and no soaking needed; the brush feels the same on the first shave as on the hundredth. At 26 mm the knot carries more lather per load than the smaller Hi-Brush models, and the tapered filaments keep the tips soft against the face.
Who This Brush Is Best For
No animal hair is used in a synthetic knot.
A 26 mm knot holds a generous volume of lather.
A synthetic knot shakes almost dry, so it packs sooner after a shave.
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.
- A synthetic knot does not need breaking in, so it loads and feels the same from the first shave.
Adding water gradually rather than all at once is the usual difference between a thin lather and a thick one.
Care and Storage
Rinse the knot thoroughly under warm running water after every shave until the water runs clear, then shake out the excess and leave the brush to dry bristles down. Synthetic fibre needs no soaking before the shave and no conditioning, but avoid boiling water, which can soften the filaments and cost the knot its shape.
