My new V2 Omega Evo

Well the hair is definitely different to the Evo brushes I got about 2 months ago. It is wavier at the top and appears to splay a bit better. No glue bump at all.

So far so good. After the first use I can say that I like it better than the previous generation. Mainly because it is easier to splay. As a result, it also feels a bit less springy in the face. It still has good backbone and a nice amount of scrub. It‘s not going to replace a nice badger for face feel, but it is as good as I have tried for a synthetic.
The lather, of course, is excellent.

I sent back the V1 due to the 15mm glue bump - hopefully the V2 will be far superior. It was this exact same handle too which I loved so I really want to like this knot.

Timeless Slim Titanium. Loving the build quality / finish on this razor and I much prefer the weight of titanium to stainless.

It's a great razor. Old plates work as well if you ever wanted to try.

Mail call.
Hi folks,
This just came in the mail from Shaving Time.
It's a mixed badger and boar hair brush. I thought I'd give it a try.
It feels quite stiff, like it has a good backbone.
I've lathered it up with some Arko, to clean it out, and put it in some water to soak.
It lathered up really well. I shall try it later and report back.
Cheers, John

First shave tomorrow. First impression on opening the package is very good. The packaging is excellent, actually very similar to something you would expect from an apple product. The razor has a very solid feel to it.
