    Thanks for all the replies guys! I'm kindof in a battle between the Rooney style 1 small and a custom shavemac.

    Eric, please let me know how that custom works out for you. I'd love to hear about it.... Oh, and pictures!!! We must have pictures if possible!!

    I used to use my Omega/Proraso brush for soaps every now and then, and liked that very much, but I gave that brush to an up and coming wetshaver to replace a horrible Burt's Bees boar he was using. Figured I'd take the opportunity to upgrade to a nice springy badger.

    Will do sir. One thing to note about shavemac is the speed of delivery! He posted it yesterday and it's already in my city! Damn near overnight shipping! I'm expecting it to arrive tomorrow

    This was my post in edk's thread when he asked a very similar question:

    I have not tried nearly as many brushes as others, but I also think that you would be VERY happy with a Rooney Small Style 1, especially for soaps. I use mine with both soaps and creams, and it works equally well. Mine is a finest, but I am sure that the other grades of hair would work almost if not equally well. The one thing that I would warn you about is that I had to return 2 different Rooney Super Silvertip brushes because they both had problems with shedding hairs. My current brush has never lost a hair though, and it seems that I was one of the only one that had a problem with a Rooney brush shedding . The small C&E brush for $35 also always gets amazing reviews and would probably be the best bang for your buck. I think that this is sergiobruna's favorate brush and he has a nice selection of very nice high end brushes. More expensive is not always better, just more rare and sought after.
