World's Largest Omega Boar Brush?

We are currently visiting Asheville, North Carolina, which we usually do every year.  There is a store in downtown called Serenity & Scott.  The store carries its own line of women's cosmetic products.  However, a section of the store is dedicated to men's grooming products, including a modest selection of shaving goods.  It was here that I found what may be the world's largest Omega boar brush.  It's one of the display models made for retail vendors.  I looked at the brush carefully and a few of the hair tips were already split.  Interestingly, this brush has a quality resin handle which is much nicer that the handles on normal Omega boar brushes.  Here is the boar beast, next to a Parker synthetic brush:

Wow!!!

Cool!

Now that's a shaving brush.  Hope the hurricane misses you.

Boy. That brush must be a handful! You could surely go through your soap collection, very quickly.

I just want to know if the knot size in mm has 2 or 3 digits?  I need to get over there and check out that brush (I'm 25 miles south of Asheville in the summer). The hurricane's probably not going to be a very big issue here but home is the Daytona Beach area. It's gonna be tough there for a while - 5 to 8 feet of storm surge and hurricane force winds for a long time. Friends are taking care of our place, thank goodness.

Now that's a big pig!  Great find and thanks for sharing.

Good goobity-goob!
That's a huge brush. Cool!
Thanks for sharing.

I like it! I'd use it, but probably not more than once or twice just to say I did.

Need a whole case of soap to load it an one pass on your face to apply. Now that's an Omega!

Thats nice, but I think Ricardo's is bigger than yours ...

I wish we could put these side by side.

zaclikestoshave, what's the story behind your brush?

The window display was something that I saw when I walked into a local shop. The first time I visited, the Omega was there right next to you when you first opened the door. It was really impressive. When I saw it, I didn't think that it was for sale because it was literally the stand alone wet shaving product in the store. So when I asked the owner of the store what the item was, he said it was for shaving. 



Bingo.

I hit the jackpot. To put it simply, he didn't sell any traditional wet shaving items at the time I shopped at his store. But he did previously carry items from Italy and I told him I had some use with Omega brushes. But most importantly, he decided to keep the impressive display brush for the customers like me to enjoy while visiting his business.

I wonder where you could buy one.

The boar for the bristles must have looked like a grizzly bear.
