I assume many of you have seen the Oumo Brush Shop at Aliexpress already.
I recently got my first Oumo. An SHD Manchuria finest 2-band 24mm Amber Handle, around 3 1/2 weeks after order.
First of all, they don't know how to use the calliper as well as the guys at Yaqi. What looks out of the top is not a 24mm knot but a little bit more than 26mm. The loft length is indicated with 53mm. With a toothpick in the middle I get 47mm because of the glue dot.
But that was all with the criticism. The brush is great. I find the gel like tips ultra soft and probably I would be too blunted to find an even softer one of the Hook variant as some say. Even softer is hardly imaginable... besides that the loft of only 47mm has an extreme effect on the backbone. Yep, that’s how I like it. Pleasantly firm backbone and cuddly soft tips. The brush needs a little more soap (very good, you can at least reduce the stock), but it doesn't eat soap and releases it very well. From me it gets a clear recommendation to buy.
This is how it looked like when I got it
and now after 12 shaves
