Too much time on hands today :letterk1:

So was bored, and decide to a Weigh all of my Vintage Gillettes, was interesting to see the Heavy Weight, and Light Weight, and my finding are in ounces.





Gillette Slim Adjustable TTO- 2.50 OZ


Gillette Ball End Tech - 2.05 OZ


Gillette Flair Tip TTO - 2.01 OZ


Gillette 1947 Notch-less Super Speed TTO - 1.94 OZ


Gillette Flat Bottom Tech - 1.66 OZ


Did not expect results, did expect the Slim Adjustable to be Heavy Weight. But the others were foolers.

Razor weights are usually seen in grams. Easier to compare with other brands.

Well I live in the USA, I like Inches, Pounds, Gallion, Feet, Ounces, etc., and how I was taught in K-12 School. Google conversion table if it metric your thing.

I'm with you, drives me crazy to have to google metrics to real weights and measures. If the whole world would use the USA real weights and measurements the tower in Pisa wouldn't be leaning, right?

Or the USA could catch up and use what the rest of the world uses.

Foreigners always trying to tell us kids what to do

Nope Americans do things our way. No one is forcing anyone to copy our way.

Just show us respect, and we will show respect.

Ha. Read your first post and who wanted who to confirm to their outdated system that few countries still use.

I'll leave it there so we don't get political.

Grams gets my vote for razor weights.

Agreed. I didn't open the can of worms on which system to use.

Another post, not yours, wanted the entire world to change to your system.

You used the correct units. We use a different system. I am comfortable using both and often do, especially when following a recipe.

I like Ounces, when I worked in Medical field we use metric.

Metric is still standard in Medical Field.

When fishing with my cousin I use to tell him that he needed to bring his boat a few meters this way or that way to catch the big ones, he use to look at me like a deer in headlights than asked me what the heck I was talking about

Well I recall once having photo assignment to do some pictures at Para-Games.

Was talking to young guy who was Sprinter, he had lost both legs.

Asked what wss he event, he replied the 100. I ask his best time? He gave me number, I said that flying for 100 yards. He replied we run 100 meters.

His time was like 11.2 Seconds, he was very fast.

When's the last time that you bought beer in a 10 pack....

A system that is simple multiples of ten? Ridicuolous.

That's a 10-hour day, right? Each hour is, what, 72 minutes?

A meter is 3.37" longer than a yard. Wouldn't his time have appeared slower?

What I meant was, if his time seemed fast for 100 yards, it was blazing for 100 meters.

I mean, it's not like the conversion factor is a deep secret.
