Thread: Tired of Rounded Up Measurements!

Recently bought a German razor that was supposed to be 8/8". It was under 15/16". To me that's a big difference!
Why round up to 8/8"? Why not round down to 7/8"?
Well most of the time there's one reason, and we all know it.
I'm just sick of it.
Usually I write and ask if the measurements are indeed that stated size. This time I didn't. Always maintain vigilance guys! We need to protect ourselves from greedy people, at the very least they just "don't understand" the world of straight razors where 1/16" is significant.
I've had then come 1/4" off before with very clever photography.
I've also had them come 1/8" over! But that is the exception.
Always buyer beware!
