HI-BRUSH (Badger effect) and S-Brush (Hog bristle effect) synthetic fibers are made of PBT, a thermoplastic semi-crystalline polyester. Both filaments are corrugated as to improve the performance of the brush in terms of holding and releasing the lather during the shave. Both filaments are chemically tapered to give a soft touch on the skin. Synthetic fibers are really much more performing than hog bristle and badger hair. They better withstand their daily duty and are much more hygienic and easier to clean.

Interesting brush, my first Omega S-brush. Good value and a good travel brush I think
I have this brush in the boar hair version and got this one as a gift for my nephew. I love the shape of this handle, and the synth bristles seem nice. But the finish on the wood is not nearly as nice as the older one I have, and the wood itself has a hairline split near the top of the handle.
Best brush in it’s price point. It is as good as my $200 brushes!
