Just got my Rooney 1/1 silvertip ebony today. Been practice lathering with it a few times, found it very easy to figure out correct mixtures on both soaps and my creams. It is a wonderful little brush, exactly the size, density, soft/firmness I was looking for. And it holds tons of lather for her size too.
Just sold my Kent bk8, been using my vulfix 2234 again, this Rooney is a soft tipped, but yet gentle scrubber, with just enough back bone for sensitive skin, but doesnt try to skin you alive either. I ordered mine from Vintage blades as well, and asked for the <44mm loft as well (apparently they get the shorter lofts by choice). I am a small brush lover, as I do own a Wee scot, and love it. But it is a travel brush at the moment. If your looking for the in between wee scot, and the 2234 type brush, this is IT!! I look forward to updating in several months on the break in time, and how much more I love her. P.s I was torn between ordering the Savile Row 3118, and this. If you were stuck as I was, I really, really think this brush is MY answer longterm now!
