All, Let's, please, simply buy whichever scale and tape measurer we need for the job at hand and quit bickering about systems of measure. I personally am fond of using the smidge, whisker, finger, and hand system but I do not want to yell at those who use more standard systems. I did have some real problems with the whisker increment when I outgrew my long Biker/Mountain man beard phase, since it changed from two hands to one finger.
