Is 'Silvertip' and 'Super Silvertip' the same thing?

[NewGuy]

Hey everyone,

Just looking at some brushes online. Some are listed as Super Silvertip and some only as Silvertip. Are these both the same hair type?

Thanks.

There's no universal standard. Every manufacturer uses different terms. So one maker's Silvertip might be like another maker's Super.

If it's the same manufacturer, than the Super Silvertip is probably whiter in the tips. Are you talking about Rooney brushes here? Rooney has both a Silvertip and Super Silvertip grade. They're very similar, though the Super is a bit whiter.

Thank you

I think I should be fine with just a Silvertip for now
