Can anyone give some impressions on the Omega silvertip brushes? Any users here?

Good Evening,
I've got the 6234 and the 6215 in Silvertip and the 6221 in Pure. Mine are densely packed and the quality of the hair is extremely good. The 6234 is the perfect size for me and just may be my favorite.

I have two Omega Silvertips........they are actually the "Finest Silvertip".

I also had the 6223 in Pure, and traded it for something very special ;) I will be buying another 6223 in Pure......and if the urge to buy another Omega Finest Silvertip struck me I wouldn't hesitate to do so.

I haven't tried one thus far, I believe TraderJoe has tried a few if I'm not mistaken...perhaps he'll chime in on this.

That wooden one Joe has is probably one of the more attractive brushes I have EVER seen. Love it!

I don't believe that I have seen another brush before with a gold accent / beauty ring...the handle shape also looks very nice..

Not only is it a "looker", but it fits in the hand really well....the contours are in just the right spots. Like a glove :D

So.. I'll expedite your Canadian VISA app.. just leave the brush in an unmarked box in the alley... :rofl

Looks great Joe!, not that I'm in the market, but where does one find these top shelf Omega brushes?

Cheapest place I have found them is here:

I have seen these same brushes sold at significantly higher prices on eBay and other websites. Furthermore, Gio is a great guy to "deal" with ;)

They have some very original designs.

I have a connect to get Omega shaving brushes so I purchased these three. Brushes 6144 and 6235 (last one) are Finest Silvertip and 634 is Silvertip. The bristles, as stated already, are very soft. I didn't like the 6144. Even though I really liked the handle, it shedded from day 1 and I didn't feel it was densely packed. Brush 634 was a smaller brush and would be best suited as a travel brush. Brush 6235 is very densely packed and is a keeper. I'm using internet pics because I sold brushes 634 and 6235 and I'm getting brush 6144 exchanged for another 6235. I realized I kept the wrong one.

I recently did purchase an silvertip and although the model works great with creams I feel i need a brush that would work equally well with soaps. It looks as though I need to look at one of the finest silvertip brushes for my next order.

I have a couple of Omega brushes (6215 & 599) that I got through Amazon when a certain vendor had them at very reasonable/attractive prices.

The 599 is a best grade hair, and is very small (overall, knot, & loft); it makes a great travel brush, but is serviceable for everyday use if so inclined.

The 6215 is a brush that I consider when I want pampering during a shave. While it has moderate to high density, the hair is quite soft and flexible. It really lays down a thick layer of lather with absolutely no harshness. It has a 25mm knot with a good-sized loft, so it fills the face in use.

I recently got the 6235. While it's nice to look at, I'm a little disappointed. The brush is not densely packed and is a bit floppy. It has been decent as a soap brush. I'm going to try it with some shaving cream tonight.

Just too big for me.
Ive traded off all of my brushes that were over 22mm knots.
This one was very soft and lux on the face......some backbone.
Very flexible :D
I would definitely recommend the finest silvertip !

I'm going to have to stay away from Omega brushes. Even the replacement to my first shedding brush also sheds. It's not worth it to keep trying new brushes when I could just go to a different brand.
