    I have been wrong so many times, trying to gauge the size from photos, that I gave up trying. Now I always ask the seller if it isn't specified. I once bought a NOS Merkur straight from Bulgaria and thought I would recieve at least a 6/8 ........ got a 4/8.

    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    I asked one time and the answer was it's the standard size. Sometimes you get a hunch and need to take a risk. Sometimes it's a grand reward, others,well I just don't like to talk about those.
