    So you measure by the 1/8 inch.. 3/8, 5/8, 6/8, 7/8, 8/8..... If you already knew that, please don't be offended... I shaved for a long time with straights and never knew what folks were talking about when they talked about "size".. I never cared about the width before I started looking at this site. I just knew there were wide ones and narrow ones..

    Yeah, by my reckoning that is a 27/32th at the heel and around 63/64ths at the toe. Plus or minus 2/8ths.

    If we guess right can the winner have the razor?

    I'm going with 8/8" at the toe and 7/8" at the heel

    It'll probably scare an 8/8 but I'll be surprised if it makes it.

    It doesn't matter if it is 8/8 or 8/8+.

    What matters is the words used to describe it.

    Is it:

    A chopper?
    Huge?
    Monstrous?
    Intimidating?
    Bodacious?
    Awesome?
    UFB?
