Help with brush question....

I own a couple vulfix brushes, edwins and TAOS, i am loving all of them, they are all different and i find i like them each one for a different soap or cream...wanting another one (thinking that this one will quench the thirst for the lookout of the perfect brush)
i got the rooney small best badger.
Anybody has any experience with this brush?
There is a couple things that i would like to find out if they are normal...the knot is so tight and heavely packed that i feel the water gets traped in it and when i lather in my face just throws water all over making a mess...also is loosing a lot of hairs...its loosing about 15 each shave...if i pinch i feel i could leave it bold pretty soon...
could this be because is so heavily packed and someday is going to stabilize? or is just going to keep losing? will it ever stop? if so...the leatheravility will improve?
excuse the spelling....
thanks

15 hairs a shave sounds like a manufacturing defect ... :eek:

i thought so too....i got it with classic shaving a month ago...just wanted to make sure rooneys don't perform like this at the begining.
Thanks . i will give them a call.

yeah, sounds like a bad brush there. It should not be losing that many that fast.

Minus 15 per shave? Minus 15 is bad enough for temperature, let alone for a brush. I agree with the rest: it appears that the brush base was not glue properly. I have an inexpensive badger purchased from Wm. Marly Co. (barber pole manufacturers) and it has lost 3 bristles in a year and those early on only.
