Converting sizes to metric

I'd really appreciate it if someone could post a table of razor sizes and their metric conversions. Unfortunately I can't seem to find an online convertor and I don't have any imperial rulers.

I'd be grateful for the full list of razor sizes if possible.

Cheers,

Rob

If anyone still has the table that would be great.

Well, change the values in the search field for other sizes, do the table for the most usual sizes and post it here?

Google is still your friend. Pay notice to the lower left corner of this chart:

1in = 25.4 mm
that's all you need and a calculator (or multiply by hand if you do not have a calculator)

You can just ask Google. "convert 1 inch to mm

It will give you the answer. When I started with Coticules, I used it all the time...

Good Luck

Excel makes it simple:

x/8 Inches mm 1/8 0.125 3.18 2/8 0.250 6.35 3/8 0.375 9.53 4/8 0.500 12.70 5/8 0.625 15.88 8/8 0.750 19.05 7/8 0.875 22.23 8/8 1.000 25.40

Seriously.... go to Google and type in the search "6/8 inches in millimeters"

Or "22 millimeters in inches".

Or if you're looking for a math solution.... say "5*9+(sqrt 10)^3="

Type it into the search engine.

Best solution would be if the entire Anglo Saxon world would go metric like many already did or are doing.

Funny thing is in US in college , physics and chemistry are taught in SI units as everywhere in the world. When you go to the store everything is in in/lb etc..go figure

I am sure some day the whole world will be metric but until then I want to know how many miles to my destination, how many yards for a first down, the Earth is 93 million miles from the Sun and the speed of light is 186,000 miles per second. Give me a gallon of gas, a gallon of milk and please bring back a quart of whisky. With this I can tell how many miles per gallon I am getting with my car and quarts of whisky to my destination. Zero degrees is cold, 32 degrees is freezing and 100 degrees is hot. I am going to keep my Anglo Saxon measurements thank you.

Hi,

I'm curious to know why a conversion would be needed, it's not as if cutthroats are widely sold in metric sizes. Even the French manufacturers and retailers list their razors using imperial measurements, despite being a country that uses the metric system.

That's true but it changes if you need to buy workshop supplies from a local shop.
