Product Overview

Omega 11712 Pure Bristle Shaving Brush

Product

The Omega 11712 pure bristle shaving brush is a fabulous shaving brush with excellent minimalist styling. It features an ash handle with a smooth finish but deep, rich grain detail topped with a chromed plastic collar which holds the high performance Omega 100% hog bristle badger effect loft. Made in Italy. 

How to use

The brush bristles should be wet (not soaking) before use. Load the loft with soap or cream and apply to the areas to be shaved, using a strong circular motion. This softens the hairs and also raises them ready for shaving.

We strongly recommend the following after care for your brush; When finished always rinse the brush under hot water (especially at the base of the bristles) to remove any remaining soap residue which can result in damage to the bristle and cause early shedding of the loft. The brush should then be stored loft facing down to dry. This can be achieved by using a shaving brush stand and prevents the bristles rotting at the base due to moisture.

Recommended for

Both shaving creams and shaving soaps and all skin types.

Grooming tip

Always store your shaving brush with the loft/bristles pointing down, to allow excess moisture to drain away naturally. This prevents damage caused by damp and helps to extend the life of your brush.

    First impressions - very promising

    Posted by CK on 6th Jun 2020

    Early days, but very pleased with the experience so far. Appears to do a great job with both soap and cream. Maybe not as firm as some bristle brushes, although I'm personally happy with that. Already appears to be splitting and softening and filling out nicely. Neat and compact, with the wooden handle making it particularly pleasant to use. Excellent value - arrived quickly & very well packaged.

    Good brush needs more backbone

    Posted by een247 on 9th Feb 2017

    This boar hair behaved more like a synthetic brus,h it's soft on the face however it wasn't what I expected. I prefer the Omega professional range and unlike the other reviewer I didn't experience enough backbone for my liking, a good brush but not quite full marks.

    Another splendid brush from Omega

    Posted by Jim Needham on 26th Nov 2015

    Typical of the other boar bristle brushes I own, this one is taking a little time to break in. However, already it is showing signs of behaving like my Omega 11150 (which is my favourite bristle brush) in terms of performance. Plenty of backbone, enough to produce a good lather, either bowl or face. And for the price, you can't go wrong.
