My first high-end brush.

**GeauxLSU** · 05-31-2011, 06:36 PM

I've been looking for a high-end brush to replace at least partially, my first badger, a base model Fendrihan I picked up new for about $30 a few years ago.

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 wont regret it, for me half of the fun of straight razor shaving is the pampering aspect, and a high end brush is great at pampering your face.

That is a very handsome brush

Congratulations!
I would love to hear how you find it to perform once you have given it a good few shaves.

You may never need another brush. That is a fine one....
Do see your doctor and get inoculated for "BAD".

Wayne, my good man, you have done yourself great service by giving that Rooney a nod. Good stuff. Here's to more jolly shaves.
