In reality it looks a bit different. I will have to make and post a picture. The handle is different and I think the hairs are unbleached and the loft and shape are different as well. I think more like an omega 48. I like boar brushes in all shapes. It looks a bit cheap, but I think it will perform well and will be a joy to use. But not an item to brag about.
