Hi all,
As you know, the only UK vendor for Rooney is Executive Shaving. I have bashed them in the past for poor communication and service, but I have been conversing with a chap called Brian who is very communicative and helpful (did ES change management/ownership recently?)
Anyway, it seems due to bad communication with Lee Sabini, they are selling their remaining stock of Rooneys.
I just ordered a nice white 3/1 Silvertip. The 3/1 was my first decent brush, and I really missed the handle shape. One of my favourites! Let's hope I get a good knot.
Just a heads up. The only other place to get them as far as I know is Classic Shaving (reportedly owned by Sabini) in the US. Vintage Blades don't ship to the UK, yet have the best variety of brushes. Very frustrating.
John
