Does anyone have any experience with this brush? It's a silvertip made by Rooney for the Gentleman's Shop. Looks similar to a Rooney Style 2 small, but even smaller. Same knot size (22mm), but only 105mm in overall length. The price is good at about $50 plus carriage. Any and all opinions welcome. Thanks! Correction...20mm knot as opposed to the 22 of the "official" Rooney. http://www.gentlemans-shop.com/acata...sh.html#a42 0
Its most certainly living up to my expectations. As you said, it (the BK4) really is a lather-machine with soaps....and the feel is the epitome of luxury.
As I believe I may have mentioned before, they've been doing this since 1777 - I think they've figured it out!! Got your 8 yet?
Totally different. Although the knot sizes are only different by 1mm (BK4=22mm, Finest=23mm), the Finest "acts" like a brush with a 28mm knot (at least compared with other dense brushes like an SR). The BK4 is really a MUCH smaller brush, comparatively speaking, so the lather is more of a controlled substance and it eats up less of your face. The BK4 is also not as dense, but I'd say also has a shorter loft. They both however, are spectacular brushes. ps - I am no longer (at least for now) using the word "floppy" when describing brushes.....if I were, that word would have appeared above several times.
I keep trying to talk myself out of it. I need another brush like I need another shave cream! Or warts.
Other than Charles, I don't even know who sells SRs. And his site is so bad, I can never even find a pic of any of the ones people have recommended...the 3824 included. (Great service, but his web site su..., umm, stinks.) That said, from the pics I HAVE seen, I just don't care for them.
$115 shipped! JUST DO IT! all your friends are doing it. Do you want to be the only kid on the block with out a SR, I am getting a Kent because of you, don't you want to be my friend. :rofl All jokes aside its a great brush but I said enough If you don't like the idea then don't waste the cash.
