Oh no, reading this thread i'm tempted to give an overview of ALL my brushes; but i will not, at least, not now in this thread; almost ashamed to embarass you guys :wink:

I promise to make pictures of my complete collection and put them into the gallery....or in a thread.....maybe this thread???

Hmm, by the end of this week i hope to have my Rooneys; ahem... :oops: three of them, one in finest, one in super and one in silvertip; different handles of course and..yes..all in large....

Peter:

If you could give us a list in this thread, that would be great. And maybe do a separate thread in the pictorial section to include all the pictures?

By the way, the results of this poll clearly show that with my two brushes I'm grossly below average. I may have to do something about that... :D

Ravi, They are nice, ain't they? Now you can see why I always insisted on including them in lists of the 'best brush makers', back when hardly anyone on the forums had heard of them. I'll be interested to hear what Peter makes of the one's he is getting shortly. Regards, Gordon

Sam, I'd be glad too, however, technically the Rooney brush that would be comparable to the SMF in terms of knot size is on its way over from Hungerford. I'll certainly carry out you request with your questions in mind once I receive it.

For some initial comparison between the Medium Rooney and the SMF brush (24mm vs 26mm knot) see this thread ->http://www.shavemyface.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3106

I'll try and take some pics of it and the SMF and post them in the mean time.

XChris? What are you? Me with superhuman powers?

:lol:

Welcome aboard
Sitting in the morning sun
I'll be sitting when the evening comes
Watching the ships roll in
And I watch 'em roll away again
