A Few More Rooney Heritage Stubby XLs Just In
I thought you would like to know that we received some more of the new Stubby XL's in all three sizes today. However, it goes without saying that quantities are very limited. We did manage to get a few more of the 1XL's than last time though. Enjoy.

Hello Paddy. I'm sorry that no one has gotten back to you. I checked our various email boxes and didn't see your message. It must have somehow gotten diverted by our spam filter. At any rate, I am sorry as well that we will be unable to meet your needs. For a number of reasons, we have become a US c...

A couple of points..... Rooney, to this point has not elected to have a web presence as a business decision, pure and simple. As to the reason, it is not for me to explain, other than they are a manufacturer and prefer to act like one. Personally, I wish more manufacturers operated the way they do. ...

I can emphatically state that Rooney brushes are not manufactured in China. The documents that accompany each and every shipment of brushes that I receive from Rooney certify to the appropriate authorities that the country of manufacture of the brushes is the United Kingdom. What I do not understand...

There is no optical illusion at play here. There always seems to be some change from lot to lot. But I have been involved in ongoing discussions with both Rooney and Progess-Vulfix about head shapes. You may remember the poll that I ran here recently focused on that topic. That was done for a reason...

I have placed an order for my allocation of these Simpson 90th Anniversary brushes. Unfortunately, I have been limited as to how many I can get.....only 15 I'm afraid. Yes, they will most definitely be filled with the 2-band grade of badger hair and they will be marked as 1 of 90 and so on. The hand...
