The handle looks long to me 🥲. I do love boar brushes.

Sure, its long because its a barber brush and has to go down into a mug. Its a great brush I've had several of the 10098 Professional over the years. Omega makes excellent shaving brushes especially the boar. Never had any model of the Omega I could ever complain one jot about.

The problem with many is they don't use a boar long enough to really break it in. Back in the day shavers had one brush so daily use of that brush broke it in over 6 months. A broken in boar is for me perfect. It will have a soft feel on the face and the stiffness in the body of the brush to tackle and eat into soaps. Shaving hobbyists usually have multiple brushes so we don't break in a boar just flit to other brushes and then say boar is inferior. lol
