Product Overview

The Omega 46065 is a complete starting set: a boar bristle shaving brush, a stand for it, and a 150 ml bowl of Omega shaving cream with eucalyptus oil.

It is the cheapest honest way to find out whether traditional wet shaving suits you, because everything you need beyond a razor is in the box. All three pieces are made in Italy by Omega, who are better known for their brushes than for their creams but make both.

Product Specifications

Lathering Performance and the Cream

The cream is a soft Italian style cream in a bowl rather than a hard puck, so it loads onto a damp brush in a few seconds and needs less work than a hard soap. The eucalyptus oil gives it a clean, cooling scent that most people find mild. Boar bristle is stiff when it is new and softens as the tips split over the first few weeks, so the brush you finish the cream with will feel better than the one you started with.

Who This Brush Is Best For

Getting the Best from Your Brush

1. Soak the knot in warm water for a minute or two before you start, then shake out the excess.
2. Load the brush by working it over the soap or cream until the hair is fully charged.
3. Build the lather in a bowl or on the face, adding water a little at a time until it turns glossy.
4. 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 stand the brush on the stand to dry. Close the cream bowl between uses so it does not dry out.
