Just received my new Rooney!

[MedicBill]

The UPS man just left... figured I'd share some photos of my new brush!

It's a Rooney, Style 3, Size 2. I purchased it from Jim at Vintage Blades.

I plan on using the Rooney at home, and the Vulfix 1000A for travel.

I soak my brush it hot water while I shower, is that sufficient?, or should I shampoo the brush before first use?

Wooohoooo!

Gotta live those Rooneys!

Well made in all respects. Ane good looking, too.

Congrats on your new brush! If your brush is anything like the 3/2 I recently purchased, I highly recommend a shampoo or two. I usually do this for all new brushes but skipped that step with the 3/2 and just soaked it before lathering. Holy *%#*& was that a mistake. It was like lathering with soap that had been dragged through a cow (OK, badger) pasture! Whoa!!!

Enjoy the brush - it's a beauty!

Very nice!

I just got my 3/1 in Faux Horn yesterday from Jim and I could not be happier.

Very nice. I have the same brush in my rotation.

Rooney's are awesome aren't they? I have the same brush and love it. Just use it if it stinks shampoo it!


Take Care,
Richard

Congrats on the brush! You made an excellent choice with the Rooney.

Congrats - I think you will be very happy.

It's a beaut! I think you'll enjoy it very much.

I love my 3/1. I shoulda gotten mine in imitation ivory, though. The imitation ebony is kinda dull.

 

[jackpot21n]

That one looks awesome!

 

[MedicBill]

I've had the opportunity to use it 3 times since I received it, it feels great on my face and forms a nice lather.

Thanks for the well wishes everyone!
