Look what I just dug out... the Executive Shaving 'Great Ormand Street Hospital' charity shaving brush from god knows when... a long time ago.. my 1st encounter with the Rooney Heritage hair, if my memory serves me well.. just gave it a quick lather job, and I might just have to bring this back into my rotation.. Let me know if you can remember when this was from.
My first experiences with badger were with vintage brushes like that. I'd be very surprised if that brush has any backbone whatsoever. Modern tastes are for deeper set, densely packed brushes, not luxurious mops. That's a fine looking brush though.
well, it has made a triumphant return to my brush rotation, as it has no problem lathering firm soaps, and delivers a wonderful lather using a brush stroke method.. so, I'm more than pleased that I dug it out.
