This is a pic of my M&F after about 5 uses and a few test lathers (sorry for the crappy cell phone pics). It started off very dense and firm, but has softened a little. It is a certainly a big one. The second picture is next to my Thater 1 for reference. Hoping it continues to soften a little and break in. The quality is second to none.

Tried to send you a PM, but your box is full.

I've gotta say that y'all's "new hair" looks very different from mine. In mine, I see very pronounced, coarse, black hairs scattered throughout.

My new brush is that way....and has quite a bit of scritch to it. Also shed a few hairs on the first go. My older m&f is completely blonde, no scritch and has shed maybe one or two hairs in the year I've owned it.
My latest from Lee has the black hairs scattered throughout and has some scritch. It's still nice though.

Just love that handle!
I think its the black hairs that make it feel like the rooney finest hair. It emulates the scritch feeling of the finest.
I think I've seen some comparisons somewhere (maybe in this thread), but not finding them now. Does anyone know how the OLD Blond, NEW Blond, and Rooney Heritage compare?
Thanks!
BTW, digging that wood color Lee 7
Cool. Guess they don't show up in other pics, but I can see them in your second one. I agree. I think those black hairs are what give it the scritch.
Moe: You ask a loaded question!!! But here I go. IMO, the Old Bonde was much softer than current blonde. This is NOT to say that current blonde is not soft, but I get no scritch from my old blonde. This years batch is soft AND it also has a touch of scritch, as well as a bit more backbone (which may contribute to the scritch as well). It draw comparisons to the finest, but IMO it is not quite as scritchy as a finest. If you like soft, soft brushes, but want to dabble with just a touch of scritch, then this years batch might be of interest. In comparison to the Heritage, the Heritage is like last years blonde, but softer. I do not necessarily think this is a good thing (that "gel-like" feeling).
As I think about it, I may put a WTB out for a few brushes from last year. I like the scritch of this years batch, but overall my personal preference is lots of backbone with soft tips (i.e. last years). I look forward to hearing others' thoughts.

Thanks for your thoughts on the comparison!
Anyone else care to compare it to the legendary Finest?
I know this is often asked, but could someone PM me the info on purchasing one?
Can someone please include me on the list to where I can get one of these M&F brushes.
