are you serious? I always thought that ceramic blades must be sharprened before firing. do you have a pic of the depleted uranium? is it cast as a file?

I thought all uranium was radioactive, how will you know if the hairs are getting shaved off and not melted by the residual radiation?

You could just use the enriched uranium. Keep it in a can under your bed and you won't have to shave at all!

No camera with me, so here's a scanned image of the new abomination:

That looks pretty unique and amazing. I'm very curious to how it shaves, and how the edge lasts.


Bart.

that is pretty wicked looking.

would you even have to strop a ceramic blade?

As awesome as that is, I don't think it will need re-sharpening for years, I'd be afraid the edge would feel a tad harsh.

I wouldn't bother with stroping either, at least not untill it was tried for a while. I wouldn't think that there is and fin to straighten or smooth.

Beautiful ! What type of ceramics, zirconium oxide ?

I believe it's zirconium carbide, as it's the black stuff....supposedly tougher than the oxide.



No stropping. It seems that stropping can lead to microchipping in my limited experiments here.And there will be nocorrosion to overcome either.

I think I'll have to refine the edge a bit more before giving this a test shave...I screwed around with the edge a bit too much, and developed some microchipping. I think I have to reset my double bevel to clean up the very edge.

This thing is eating my diamond lapping film for lunch!
