13/16 OR 7/8
+1 on 7/8.
I"ll give 8/8 a go....
21.768mm:)
I will go with 8/8
About 251 meters, oh sorry wrong Bismarck. Lets make that at least 8/8.

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.
Either way you'd need one heck of a trailer to take her on a fishing trip! ;):chapeauQuote:

Did you mean Bis...........mark my words? Sorry. Couldn't help myself.Quote:

MrMagnus, I know this is frowned upon but if you don't get on with her, I would be more than happy to pay more than what you did for that razor. I'm currently building a 7 day unique bismarck set.
I have a 5/8 registered, 6/8 registered, 7/8 extra hollow 500. And the current Dovo 6/8 ebony I'm keeping an eye out for others to complete my set.
If it shaves anything like the 500 you'll be a very happy man. The 500 is a super thin grind, And takes a wicked edge.
Here's an image of all bar the 500. I'll get a picture of the 500 for you to see later this week.
