    Default What size is this blade?

    All those W&B threads and I cant find one.

    Purchased this last night and I'm wondering what size the blade is ????
    The tang looks like a 7/8ths to me.

    I don't want to ask the seller any questions because he wont alter the item price on the postage to $10. So I am in a huff
    He is rite and I am wrong but it doesn't mean I have to like it haha.

    The blade will go to customs where they will charge me VAT ,handling fees and keep it for a week before I have to drive to collect it..
    Oh and then confess to my girlfriend that I have spent more money...

    I love the way the spine works. They make for amazing shavers..

    Lol... Not sure there is any true way of saying without measuring.
    That's a honking fat tang so 7/8 would be a safe bet. If one could assume today the cutting edge is three-ish... you might even have an 8/8.
    That's my .02$ worth.
    Some W&B guru might tell ya by model. In the end it could have been honed to something else though.
    Based on width vs height, 7/8 looks like a safe bet. My W&B 7/8 doesn't look that fat.

    Looking closer at the pictures I see the tail actually reminds me of an 8/8ths...

    What kind of a knob buys a razor without knowing it's size?
    Probably a 5/8 ths :/

    Received my blade today ..I'm over the moon..
    Firstly , the value was in tiny and hard to find print so customs missed it and it came straight to my house VAT free..

    Secondly the spine is amazing , really well defined ...

    I measured it at just under 22mm .. That makes it just under a 7/8ths ..

    Have a butchers, pictures below.... (Cockney rhyming slang : "Butchers Hook" = "Look")

    Excuse my thermals :/
