Thread: walks like a duck

Here's a thread with some conflicting views. How unusual ~~ I like Bruce's post #14 the best

btw Congrats on the purchase

I have found that most razors I've come across are 1/16 to 1/8 larger than the size written on them.

I don't know why, but this seems to be a general trend. I seem to recall John Crowley asked Mr Wacker about it and Wacker said there was a unit of measure which was not inches that was used in the production of razors. I'll search and see if I can find it.

Here is the thread: http://straightrazorpalace.com/razor...rt-wacker.html

Dunno if that is the correct explanation, but there is plenty of discussion about it in that thread.
