    I see mention of Rooney 1/3 etc. What do the numerator and denominator mean? I take it one is a style number? maybe?

    Thanks

    Thanks. And what does a knot size of three equate to?

    I did. All things Rooney revealed. And that's exactly why I started asking questions here. I figured someone would point me in the right direction.

    Thanks for the help.

    Thanks. I worked through all the pages.

    Rooney seems to have a strong following on TSD. I wanted to learn more.

    Appreciate all the help.

    DesertTime-

    IMHO, if you buy a Rooney from Jim, I think you'll be VERY pleased with it.

    I have 3/1. Its a great brush for both creams and soaps.

    It seems for all styles, size 1=22mm, 2=24mm, 3-26mm.

    Thanks.

    Not a problem. I did the easy work - finding you the info. Now you get the tough part - picking out which one you want . . . first, :D

    LOL.

    I just love all this money I'm saving by spending 10 cents for a blade vs. $2+. I should break even around 2071, if I don't buy any more stuff.

    +1, Jim is a great guy as well and gives better customer service than I have ever witnessed from any shave website. Close second is the lady who runs this sites store for sure!

    I looked at Vintage Blades and classic shaving on the Rooneys and they don't list the 2/2 or the 2/3 and their related dimensions(am I missing something?). Though I figured out the progression of the knot size, I'm still agonizing over which size to get. What are the pros/cons of the different sizes?
