I bought this brush because I'll be traveling all summer and I need something easy to use and not be afraid if it got lost somewhere. I picked this brush up and for 10 bucks I said "what the heck, it's omega. Worse comes to worse I wasted a few dollars." But this thing is amazing! I've shaven with it a few times and it has a nice backbone to lather with. But be warned, the knot size is a bit smaller than your regular ones (24 or 25 mm), naturally because of the travel size body of it. But the amount of lather it can hold in such a small area is amazing! Would buy again if I lost it!

As expected and described. Just what I was looking for in my travel kit
