Hi all,
A few thoughts/questions about Rooney brushes. It seems that although Rooney sell some of their range here in the UK, most of their really nice brushes are only available to US vendors.
I wonder why this is?
There are also reports of, for a given brush, differences in loft in spite of same model number and size.
I have a Rooney 3/1 in Super (I believe, that's what it says on the handle: "Super Badger"), but I have read that there is also a Silvertip grade, and Finest grades? No UK retailers seem to stock Finest brushes. Where in the line does Silvertip come? Above or below Super?
I find my tips a bit on the prickly side, should I have gone for the Silvertip? I had a 3/1 that was replaced due to shedding, and I'm sure the tips were softer than my current brush. Maybe I had a Silvertip before?
I believe some vendors are confusing Super and Silvertip and treating them the same.
Finally, why do some Rooney brushes I've seen have a more italic logo? And what is a Special?
It surprises me that a manufacturer such as Rooney does not have a web presence at all, and the only info available seems to be from vendors/word of mouth.
