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'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?
I assume they're asking what length of blade guard to use, as sometimes they do come in mm sizes
I can confirm that's the case where I live.
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
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.
