Do You Get a Better Shave with Two Days (or more) Growth? 

 

 A question I’ve asked myself many times.  There are times I feel I get a better shave with a few days' growth.  Is this true?  I’ll tell you my thoughts

Collector Series: Rooney Shave Brushes 

 

Although no longer in production, Rooney Shave brushes went as far back as 1796 until about 2015 or so when the company shut down.  Rooney was a very secretive company with hardly any information on them, as they did not sell directly to consumers and limited interactions with vendors. 

Value: $300-over $500.
