My Rooney badger does not shed. Had it for over a year. Don't use it all the time but have used it plenty.

And you paid a premium price for the Rooney,you got what you paid for,A lesson to be learned.
Have been in the custom brush Buis a long time,you want to buy $16 cheap knots from china via ebay,you will get what you pay for,plain and simple.

One of the few places that sells knots. I sent another email to the importer. And i ordered another knot from the other guy. I won't name names, both are regularly loved suppliers.

I'm just sick of picking hairs off/out of everything. Can't "get into" the rest of the aspects of lovely brushes.

I will say that I found a couple of good deals on vintage brushes that were like new and they are very good and do not shed. Paid a lot less for them then the Rooney but I agree that if you pay a premium you usually get a premium product.
