There seems to be a lot of secrecy and cloak and dagger stuff surrounding brush manufacture.
For instance Rooney don't have a website and aren't exactly shouting about their history from the rooftops, for such a historic and well known make, to have a corporate profile that's almost non-existent seems strange. At the same time retailers such as Truefitt and Hill and Penhaligons seem like they'd rather kill you than tell you who makes their brushes. And then last year, I got the impression from Mister Simpson of this parish that sort of hinted at some horridness in his business that didn't bear asking about but I gathered the company had pretty much died out a while back.
Is it a secretive business for a reason? Are animal rights loonies a possible driving force?
