I think the Omega Pro 48 might be my desert-island brush. I've always dismissed the "desert island" Idea for razors and brushes and the like, but more and more I find great pleasure in using the Pro 48. I am going to use it exclusively for a week to test the idea.

@Leisureguy @wetshaving Hi, 3 points maybe of some service...
1/ Over time it's important if the screw on the handle screws itself off (or wears out) as some handles seem to be mental but are not (plated plastic or lookalikes) so if you are unscrewing it on and off, say for cleaning or travel and just over time, it can just round off and no longer be screwable to the head!
2/ Cut-throats might also be a bit better (uses same disposable razor blades if this is similar) because the hair doesn't get stuck in the pictured type and not just open blade you can swish more easily in a cup.
3/ Note, cleaning not with the fingers too much or wiping not only as it's sharp but maybe the strip on the edge wears out... no sure... but for what's pictures you'll need a paper clip for dislodging the hair eventually especially as you shave the edge build up and compact with hair..
I have a brush with two threaded interchangeable knots (1 badger, 1 synthetic), but I imagine you're talking about razors.
Zinc alloy has little tensile strength, and if a zinc alloy 3-piece razor is slightly overtightened with each blade change, one day the threaded stud will break under slight pressure.
I've never experienced any cut stubble clogging my DE safety razors. A rinse after each pass clears it out.
@Leisureguy @wetshaving
Pics of those welcome and generally other pics more close up..
Perhaps clogging is for those that have denser or thicker hair.
About "Zinc-alloy 3-piece" yes I think you got that spot on and said better / more correctly than I said.
