Honestly, if you have not tried one of their brushes, you have missed out on something. Their price/quality ratio cannot be beat. I think. YMMV, and all that.

I have a Rooney 3/1 super and its the bees knees. I must note that I am a face latherer and it isn't soft. There are days I wish I had something softer, ie in the vulfix line, but I really enjoy how well the Rooney 'holds' the lather which to me helps the brush feel softer.

i have a $25 vulvix so i cant vote on this one

I think the Kent BK4 will lather anything that is thrown at it. An unbelievable brush at an unbelievable price.

Looks like Rooney is winning the poll


Zeth, BTW I saw your new razor and I had to have one. Im sending mine to Max this week.

I've had a Rooney, Munde pixel or whatever it is, a handmade brush, and a Saville Row. The Saville Row beats all the others hands down (in my opinion, of course). Dont know why people don't really seem to talk about them much, they're great brushes.

• The manufacturer: H.L. Thäter Dachs-Rasierpinsel Made in Germany - Home
• My favourite shop (to give you an indication of the cost involved with buying one of these brushes): Thäter Manufaktur Herzlich Willkommen! - The Different Scent:

Compared to Rooney or Simpson, they are quite reasonably priced. But the craftsmanship is better. And their travelling brush is the best there is (look for "Reiseetui" aka travel case) on TDS's page.

Oh yeah, and then there is this story of my really expensive Simpson brush shedding hairs, and Simpson not deigning to respond to my queries for three months. But that is neither here nor there.

BeBerlin those are really nice.

Of those on the list I vote for the Rooney!

But, .......unless you have tried the Jack Black, synthetic, nothing can beat it. Trust me (I know, never trust anybody that says, "Trust Me") No one wants to take a chance on spending $85.00 for a synthetic.

Your loss.........
