Razor Sizing

How exactly are sizes determined? Measured from spine to edge or from start of hollow grind to edge? My ruler tells me that most of my 5/8 razors are actually closer to 6/8 when measured spine to edge.

Here is an old "Discussion" about it

As you can read it is pretty up in the air and no "Rule" holds water YET !!!

Thanks Glen;

I use an old wooden ruler to measure now. I did the caliper bit but dinged up an edge. No excuse for that. The ruler works just fine.
