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..

Thanked: 15Lol... 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 :/
