Price: Yes it's a $300 brush. Is it worth it? Well, I would have never even LOOKED at a $300 brush six months ago. I got it because I wanted to try it, fully expecting to resell it at cost a week or two later. I didn't sell it. There you go. It was a great price for the people who have one. A horrible price for the people who don't have one.
Quality: You could kill someone with this brush, rinse it off and no one would be the wiser.
Density: (See Quality, but add in the words "the knot of..." right before "this brush"). Nothing even comes close to this thing in terms of density. The next closest brush I've got is another Rooney, a Heritage Super 3 band that I believe was part of a LE run a few years back. Chubbys, which several people find 'too dense' are THINLY packed compared to this thing.
Stiffness of tips: The only thing that compares is black badger. These things could probably tear your clothes.
Softness: The surprise is that once you get past the noticeable scritch and stiffness of the tips, unlike black badger, this hair is actually quite soft. I have several 3 band super brushes that are softer, but this one is definitely up there in the "soft" region.
Ergonomic: I like the Rooney style 1. It's not my favorite handle, but it gets good marks.
Latherability: Is that a joke. Nothing will outdo this brush on lather. Ever.
