Oumo Appreciation

Can you order custom loft (26x48) directly from them, in one of their handles?

Yes sir! I've ordered several brushes with those exact dimensions. Also a 28x48

So I just add a note stating the configuration I want?

I added a note and also send them a message just in case.

Lately I've been curious about buying separate knots and handles and learning how to set/glue them myself. Guess it's time to do some homework. I went to Ali to look at the Oumo offerings and was confused by how one can order a customized set. I assume messaging/email with them. Anyway, based on posts I've seen at another forum, it seems you don't always get what you ordered if buying a completed brush from them, thus my curiosity about simply buying the knot and sourcing a handle from another vendor.

I prefer to install Oumo knots in the handles produced by domestic artisans - ThatDarnRob, PrometheusHandcrafts, Turn&Shave. A bit more pricey, but the quality of the handles is top notch.

These are my OUMO.
1-3 SHD Manchurian 30*50 , 30*50 , 28*50 Prometheus.
4. WW SHD Maggard ( OUMO ) 28*50.
5. SHD Manchurian 26*48 Prometheus .
6. SHD gel OUMO 26*48 Wild West .

Thank you for kind words! The Oumo knots are very good and their quality is consistent from batch to batch. I have three types: Manchurian (in ThatDarrnRob in the second photo), Elite Razor’s  Lazurite (middle brush), “Hook” in brushes 2, 5 and 7 (all Prometheus left to right) and SHD silver tip in brushes 1, 3, and 6 (all Prometheus). All knots are super dense. The Hook knots are instantaneously gelled, the others develop gel-like properties with use.

These are my OUMO.
1-3 SHD Manchurian 30*50 , 30*50 , 28*50 Prometheus.
4. WW SHD Maggard ( OUMO ) 28*50.
5. SHD Manchurian 26*48 Prometheus .
6. SHD gel OUMO 26*48 Wild West .

Both of you have awesome looking brushes and all three of us like Prometheus. If y'all don't mind I have a few questions. Do you think the manchuria and maggards are the same or do you think the maggards shd is handmaster? How does the manchuria and gelousy compare and which do you like better? I am definitely getting a 26mm fan gelousy and thinking about getting a manchuria. Thank you very much.
Happy shaves

There are no differences between SHD Maggard and OUMO Manchurian.
I like OUMO Manchurian more than OUMO gel.[font=Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]Manchurian has softer tips with the same spine.[/font]

Thank you very much. The gel knot you have is that the hook knot?

I do not know Wild West set his knot. He answered my request that this is an OUMO SHD gel node.
