This is what I shaved with this morning.
I got it off the bay, it didn't have any sort of handle so I made one for it out of blood wood and ebony.
It took a while to hione and strop it but she shaves realy well, you just need to take your time under the jawline by the ear.
Cheeks come clean with only one swipe due to the largeness.

So size matters obviously. Damn that is a monster!
I wanna see you strop it, lol.
That was the only hard part. Sharpening wasn't bad but stropping was tough.Quote:

Do you suppose that was always intended to be a razor? That blade is incredibly long.

As stated above, it started out life as a microtome, used for cutting thin slices of biological material for viewing under a microscope or in the old days for use on slides.Quote:

Guess dead men deserve one final close shave...:)Quote:

Nice job, Mastershake!
I believe there is a tribe of small-handed people in the Amazon that would refer to that as a cleaver.Quote:

The next thing we need to see is a video of you shaving with this.
or a video of you hitting a 109mph slapshot with it!
No way, I might dull the razor sharp edge!Quote:
