I seriously doubt this guy was ever even in the military. Bayonets aren't sharp. They have no cutting edge. They are for stabbing. Perhaps some one could spend many hours trying to put an edge on a bayonet but you could not cut cheese with a stock one.

Some credibility seems to be lacking. Air Borne would never be spelled that way by anyone who went through jump school. It's Airborne. Secondly, pilots were not Rangers and Rangers were not pilots. Third, pilots were warrant officers or fully commissioned officers not sergeants. I may be wrong on this one, but I don't recall any 71st Airborne in VN either.

Plain and simple the guy is full of and should be ashamed
of himself for that comment. Shaving with bayonets my ass!

"Whats the spirit of the bayonet?" Yells the Drill Sargent.
(I'll give you a hint, its not "Shave, Shave, Shave").
This guy is full of it.
But, there was or is a 71st Airborne Brigade, part of the Texas National Guard I think. Perhaps some of them that were reorganized into a LRRP unit for the 143 Infantry were designated Rangers, but the 71st itself was a "round out" brigade for the 82ed Airborne. I would have my doubts that he was ever a part of it.
Someone from Texas can verify.

I love the internet. -Bob

I shaved with a combat knife which was not really sharp when I was younger, and it was an OK shave. Not good, but certainly doable.

The razor in question might be seriously overpriced, but there is no reason it wouldn't give you a decent shave if whatever is left of the edge is sharp enough.

Not that I would want this razor, but for pure shaving qualities it would be no different from shaving with a razor that had a broken toe and which was subsequently shortened.
