Actually not a SR question.
I am from the metric land.
I am shavette user, but frequent on SR forum(s).
It has bothered me the sizes of straight razors I see on SR forums. 5/8, 8/8 etc.
I figured out myself that it measures in 1/8th of an inch. Can anyone from land of imperial measures explain why an inch is split in 8?
