I agree- I have the Proraso version of the 48 which has a slightly shorter loft and it is a great value!

I have the 1305, Pro 48, and pro 49. All great brushes that break in quick and are fairly cheap. I love them.

I have the Semogue 1305 and the Omega 49 and could not agree more.  I have had them for years and they are still in my rotation.  

Also, some of the synthetic brushes are just amazing and many are very reasonably priced.

The last couple days I have been using the black synthetic Satin Tip-The Purist. I bought the white and the black, most think the white is softer and I tend to agree. The black for me is just right though and I have really enjoyed this brush. For $15 you cannot go wrong.

A brush is something I don't spend a lot of money on. I just don't believe in it. Razorock has been putting out brushes that are the same and in some cases better than brand names like Plisson. RR two synthetics are blowing most other synthetics out of the water! His new badger brushes will save you spending 300.00 on a Simpson's chubby. Nothing against Simpson's , but thats a lot of money on a brush IMHO. The omega S brushes are fantastic as well for under 10.00. When it comes to boar, you can't go wrong with Omega Pro or Semogue 1305 as stated above. Both amazing with a very affordable price tag. Infact, both Iconic.

I agree on the RR badger Brush he has.... It's good enough and close enough to a Simpsons chubby you'd be foolish at 240.00 difference between the two to purchase a Simpsons.... Wish he had these two years ago, would have saved me 240.00 Smile

Really liking this one. Two brushes for the price of one.

I still recommend the Omega S and the Omega pro 48 for cheap though. The Satin tip for $15 is also a steal.

Omega 49 and Omega Synthetic series. Fantastic brushes and really cheap ones. Lately, I use very often my Omegas and I appreciate them a lot.
