Are these T&H brushes made by Rooney? And if so might anyone have some experience with them?

Wondering what the quality of the hair is like, softness of the tips, and how much backbone they have. And overall performance, of course.

Craig, I believe they are Rooney-made. I called about a Rooney silvertip a month and a half ago, and they were quite forthcoming about them being Rooney-made. As I'm sure you're probably aware, the relationship between Rooney and T&H is ending and these will be made by someone else henceforth. The model I ordered is listed as no longer in stock, so I believe when Rooney-produced models sell out, they won't replace them with lookalikes, but you can always call and ask.

Also, you asked about quality. Superb. The style 1, size 2 I have is among the best brushes (per my preferences) I have owned. Perfect knot, excellent flow-through, soft tips (they develop "hooks" when the dry but are very soft on the face), and ample backbone without being too scrubby. I absolutely love the brush and wish I could get another.

Really, the customer service at T&H is top-notch, and as I said, they'll let you know who made the brush. If it's a Rooney, it's good.
