Just saw that they once again 'found' some old stock Rooney brushes for us brush-a-holics :tongue: I missed out on the Beehive 2-Band 24 mm fan 48 mm loft last time, but now bought the last one in stock - for now :biggrin: Already got the Coral red Rooney from last time they had Rooney Old Stock up on their site. Anyone got some of these or plan to purchase some ? Link: http://www.classicshaving.com/rooney_brushes_old_stock.html PS I have no interest in this shop what so ever, just seem to be the only shop that sells old stock Rooneys on a regular basis.........
I found an 20 year old NOS Safari Ralph Lauren Rooney Finest. That's more than enough Rooney for me. It is funny though, I was just commenting a couple of days ago about Rooney old stock brushes popping up from time to time.
I wouldn't really call the one pictured "Old stock" its not from the first or second run, it is however the first run of the newer 2 band hair, whilst the old stock beehives were 3 band super, insanely densely packed.
You are not easily fooled, huh The pic was removed the second I bought the last of the old stock, so I borrowed a pic of a Beehive new stock to show the brush I bought
Haha no, I believe they switched to that hair in 2010, I picked up the Stubby 1 when that type of hair was used for all of the "Heritage" brushes; the 3 band super was just too dense for me at the time.
