Need some advice/help on hair

I usually get a size 3 razor on the sides, but its a bit too short for my liking. Im contemplating getting a six, but i dont know how long a 6 is.

Can anyone help?

Pictures of a 6 on the sides would be very helpful.

Only kidding mate. A grade 6 might be a bit long though?! What you planning on doing with the rest of ya hair?

Just shortening it back really.
I just get a 3 on the sides and a 'good bit' off the top.

3 seems short to me, not sure about 4 and i dont think there is a 5.

Its 3mm per 'number' IIRC

So a 'Number 6' would be 18mm long.

Not a metro or a hairdresser, but I do have some clippers. The No.6 guard is 19mm, which is TooLong™. You need a No.1.

Hell NO!

Thanks both you and Pezboy, anyone have a picture of a 6 on the sides? Give me a better idea
