SOLD. The cologne samples shown is post 2 are still available if anyone wants them.
Details - Although I recently bought this brush it was made a few years ago and is made with Rooney's Heritage 3-band hair of a few years ago. The size is unique and different from current Heritage Stubbys. Current Stubby 2's have a 24 mm knot and Stubby 3's have a 26 mm knot. Mine is 25mm. So that's about a Stubby 2.5 in knot size. But the loft of a current Stubby 1 is 44 and a Stubby 2 is 48. Mine is about 46. So that kind of makes it a Stubby 1.5 in loft. So it's something like a Stubby Chubby 2.5/1.5.
Here's the way the vendor described the hair in this brush, "For those of you impatiently waiting for our next shipment of “Rooney’s Finest” shaving brushes—their highest-quality, most-densely-packed badger hair brushes—may we offer you the next best thing? We were lucky enough to get our hands on some Rooney brushes that haven’t been in production for a few years. They feature EXTRA-dense, so-close-to-Rooney’s-Finest-we-can-almost-touch-it, Super Badger fillings that are simply no longer available." I've never had a Finest so I couldn't say if that is an accurate description. To me the brush is very dense, has incredible backbone, and the tips are very soft on the face.
I'm asking $110 shipping included in the US. PM me if interested of if you have questions.
