    Default Rooney on Steroids

    Gentlemen,

    A few weeks back I was working at a concert and opera production in Los Angeles. Naturally, at the first opportunity I made my way to Pasadena and The Old Town Shaving Company. The place had a big stock of Rooney brushes, among others. The Rooney on steroids pictured here was a massive brush, probably a 50mm knot, that dazzled me.

    I don't think so. I think it was just for show. But it was a real brush. Imagine lathering with that baby.
