Rather bad picture, but nevertheless.....
These new Rooneys impressed me: they have a bristle type that's fine and thin and which looks a lot like Simpsons best badger.
But boy oh boy, are these lofts densely packed.........
The lofts of the Stubby, Alibaba, Emilion and Victorian are very firm with a huge backbone, although the bristle type is, as said, that of the finer and thinner type. But talking about dense: these Heritage brushes are VERY densely packed.
But i would not say that the bristle type looks like Rooneys finest: this badger is thicker and coarser, and far more black and white. As said: the bristle type of the Heritage line can best be compared to Simpsons best: f.i. the type of best badger in the Duke 3. But the lofts of the Heritages are even more densely packed and hence stiffer with more backbone than the loft of the Duke 3.
I used the Stubby 3 this morning on its maiden trip: it gives a good lather, has a perfect scrubbing action yet feels luxuriously soft.
The handles don't impress me though....but the lofts of these specimen absolutely do....
All in all has the new Heritige line an excellent value for price ratio.
They come near the Rooney finest series regarding loft properties, but not regarding loft colouration.....
