I agree, but to be fair to OP, 5 and 9 are also single digit numbers.
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
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
Is that FMJ or JHP?
My Andis set has a number, as well as both metric and freedom units on each guard.
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.
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.
I assume they're asking what length of blade guard to use, as sometimes they do come in mm sizes
sometimes
always IME. What else could it be?
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.
Could be fractional inches, but I've never seen it; arbitrary numbering is pretty common on cheap razors though
I can confirm that's the case where I live.
I'm in Canada and the barber always asks in inches.
Canada all over the place when it comes to units of measure.
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)
Still can't be sure when buying set of measuring spoons though. Is it a metric cup?
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
Better than everybody looking like broccoli
True. I looks so insanely boring.
Hey now, I'm sure you have other good qualities.
you know you're getting old when you catch yourself saying "what the chicken fried fuck are these kids doing"
broccoli is the avocado of Gen Z
You take that back
Summer hair please.
Ah the Russian response
