Rooney Badger Hair Grades

Finest Badger Hair

The finest badger hair is picked from the back of a rare breed of a long haired species of badger, only found in more remote areas of China. This hair is alot more expensive as it is of a limited supply and consequently more expensive as a raw material.

In the making of this fine brush you waste nearly half of the badger hair in the production process which is also an expensive overhead.
Finest hair is of similar grade to what Rooney's used to make their special brushes when they first started.

Super Badger Hair

The hair is Silvertip then re-dressed and re-graded in England.

This means the bundle of badger hair is sorted, the short and twisted hairs are removed from the bundle. This leaves the hair feeling softer and whiter. Also by doing this it gives the brush better lathering and water holding capability.

Silvertip

The hair is picked from the back of the badger.

Best Badger Hair

The hair is picked from the pars costalis of the badger.

Pure Badger Hair

The hair is picked from the neck, shoulder, abdomen and buttocks of the badger.
