Great looking brush!

Got one of those in ivory in the mail as well. Looking forward to using it

You'll love it, and it goes without saying (but I'll say it anyway) that Jim, Erin and VB are the best.

The 2/1 is my favorite of the Rooney line that I've tried. Great brush. Enjoy!

Fantastic Brush!

i really love the newer bulb shape coming out of the Rooney factory, and especially on the 2/1; one of the best looking shave brushes in production IMHO

Wow. A bulb-shaped Rooney. That should give it a little extra backbone (shorter hair near the outside of the knot).

Very nice! I'm looking at another Rooney. Is that a good soaps/creams brush?

I just tried it today with cream and it was great. The minute the brush hit the bowl the cream started to go to work. The loft is 52 MM so I would have to say that it would work well with soaps as well. I will try it with a soap next time I shave.

Thanks. I'm interested how it will work with soaps. If it's good, I'll pull the trigger on one.

I guess am a little slow, I just realized I don't have to shave to see if it works with soaps. I put the Rooney brush to the soap test and I would have to say it passed with flying colors.

Is that silvertip or another grade of badger hair?

Very fine looking brush, use it in good health.
