What? Clipper guards are single-digit numbers like 0 or 2

[–] [email protected] 29 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I agree, but to be fair to OP, 5 and 9 are also single digit numbers.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

with no other characters

i've seen more clipper guards with mm than with those single digit numbers, which is good because those numbers told me nothing, if i recall correctly they do not match the hair lenght they'd cut to but instead are just numbered from smallest to biggest in the set

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

but instead are just numbered from smallest to biggest in the set

And, critically, are different between manufacturers and probably between sets for different razors from the same manufacturer. If it was at least semi-standardized, like shoe size, we'd get used to it

Mine can be turned around and have "9mm" and "11mm" printed on them

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Is that FMJ or JHP?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

My Andis set has a number, as well as both metric and freedom units on each guard.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

My Wahl has both, the sequential digits and size in mm.

🤓 actually its 5.7mm. 👉👈 At least for the calibers the barber is carrying. Frickin noob.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Interesting. Is this often what is used in other countries perhaps? I'm an American and I've always been asked in terms of inches. I'd guess centimeter would be used most other places.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (2 children)

I assume they're asking what length of blade guard to use, as sometimes they do come in mm sizes

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (2 children)

sometimes

always IME. What else could it be?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

I just got a haircut, here in the US they commonly use some unclear numbering system. They said to me "Do you like it at a 4? We could start there and go to a 3"

I looked it up and apparently they're 1/8ths of an inch so there's at least some sense to it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Could be fractional inches, but I've never seen it; arbitrary numbering is pretty common on cheap razors though

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

I can confirm that's the case where I live.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I'm in Canada and the barber always asks in inches.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Canada all over the place when it comes to units of measure.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

True as hell.

Small distances? Inches and feet.

Large distances? Kilometers.

Outdoor temperature? Celsius.

Oven temperature? Fahrenheit

I feel like liquid volume is the only one we've truly went all in in metric (oz and gallon aren't really used day to day)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Still can't be sure when buying set of measuring spoons though. Is it a metric cup?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

In NZ, they ask what number, and it's a single digit, like number 3 or number 5. 3 is cut shorter than 5, but I don't know what the unit of measurement is

Edit: here we go... it's in 8ths of an inch.

the drab hipster shit of the 00s is at least not as bad as the neon triangles and curly Qs of the 90s

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Better than everybody looking like broccoli

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

True. I looks so insanely boring.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

Hey now, I'm sure you have other good qualities.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

you know you're getting old when you catch yourself saying "what the chicken fried fuck are these kids doing"

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

broccoli is the avocado of Gen Z

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

You take that back
