Thread: My first high-end brush.

Nice looking brush, I would like to introduce you to my favourite brush, he's such a show off, but he's one of the big boys in the shaving brush world, meet Mr Simpson or as his friends call him Chubby.

There's an Australian that uses super fine beaver and amazing and rare australian woods on eBay. I own a few of his and would put them up against anything called high quality but is mass produced.

Over the weekend, I pulled the trigger on this Rooney "Emillion" in size 2 with two band super silver tip badger. It should be here by Thursday, or so.

Overall brush height: 110mm
Handle height: 60mm
Brush Loft: 50mm
Knot diameter: 25mm

You will Love it! I have the original version of that brush in size "1" which is the same size as the new size "2". Mine is a 3-Band Super and it has an amazing amount of backbone while also being the softest feeling brush you could ever imagine. I am not sure how Rooney accomplishes this, but they do. Awesome brush!!! Here are a couple pics of mine in pre-bloom, it's a monster after it blooms!

Enjoy...............!!
