The GT series of brushes from Omega were designed to celebrate some legendary automobiles, and I must say they did not stop at any specific aspect of the industry. Toyota is no slouch when it comes to the car business, although it has earned the nickname 'kitchen appliance' in South Africa as every household 'has a white one' they are widely considered the most reliable and dependable maker in the country, if not the world. An old guy like me appreciates reliability, we'd prefer a boring ride over an exiting one with breakdown, but this brush celebrates the wilder side of Toyota, at one time dubbed 'The King of Africa' for good reason. Perfect...a bit of the wild side with a stable base that will go the distance.
Have I got this right, is this brush about Toyota or rather about 'Castrol' who have a long and proud legacy in motorsport?
The 'Elite synthetic knot' is the latest technological advancement in the Omega synthetic fiber brushes range. The improved characteristics, such as the larger knot diameter, the special corrugations and the very fine tips makes this brush better performing and more pleasant to use. The knot, considerably larger than standard synthetic ones, develops a much more voluminous, creamy lather, making for a deeper, and more agreeable mechanical action on the skin.
This brush is nice and compact and creates the impression of a real powerhouse making for a good match of the 'legendary cars' theme, it has a 29 mm 'Elite' knot, weighs 94 grams, has a handle length of 54 mm and a loft height of 52 mm.
Comes in a black box...this is one have they may have placed in a white box?
