It's my turn for the 3rd installment of "The Brush Chronicles".
Over the next two weeks I will be using my Rooney 3/1 on various soaps and creams. I usually shave every other day, but I'll bump it up a little for the cause. I will share as much info as I possibly can, including pictures.
A review for this brush can be found here.
You can pick up a Rooney 3/1 here.
I urge those who have this brush to join in.
This brush is considered to be a good all around brush and I agree completely. There isn't a cream or soap this brush can't conquer. Personally, I feel this brush excels with face lathering, but it is definitely effective bowl lathering as well. This is a pretty dense brush as far as I'm concerned. There are more dense brushes I'm sure, but this one fits the bill if you want density. The Rooney 3/1 also has plenty of backbone and the tips are soft as well. The tips are not luxurious like other silvertip brushes, but they are far from scritchy, imo. My brush is built very well, I might add. It has shed the occasional hair, but that's because I don't baby my brushes.
During the next two weeks I will put this brush through it's paces with the likes of Bigelow SC, Harris Lavender SC, Musgo Real SC, Speick Shave Stick, VDH Soap, and Cade Soap. You may see Cade a lot in the second week due to the "November Cade" thread in the soap forum. I face lather 99% of the time, but I will bowl lather a few times to give a proper review.
