If you review your math, you will discover that 4/8 is exceedingly close to 1/2! The convention with straight razors is to use 1/8 increments, though some 1/16s slip in occasionally.
BTW, from the look of it, I'm almost certain that is a 3", not 2 1/2" long blade.

LOL I am sorry guys, 4/8 is the same just as 2/4 is the same as 1/2. I do not know what the heck I was thinking by asking that. I swear I know my math!

Thanked: 16 blade size
That is a nice looking razor. I just got my Torrey razor back and it is about a 4/8. I have been shaving with a 5/8 so not that big of a difference. I got a Henckles on the way as well and can not wait to shave with it I hear they are great shavers you will enjoy.

I am glad to find all of this positive feedback on the razor. I feel I made a decent purchase and will soon find out more when I get it in the mail. Hopefully in a few months I will be half way decent with straight razor shaving.
