Splitting Hairs Down the Middle

[jaegerhund]

After paying close attention to stropping today, I was able to actually lay a hair (my hairs are very fine also) on the blade and while pulling down actually able to split the hair down the middle ---shredding hairs. A whole new level of respect for this thing. Anybody else do this?

yup. It's generally a good sign.

yup. It's generally a good sign.

That's what I'm thinking. Especially since I've been using the razor about 4 times a week for nearly two months. Just stropping before and after each shave. It doesn't seem like it wants to dull.

Yes. Mine do the same.

... able to split the hair down the middle

hunh?---and I always thought that meant it was only half sharp enough!

yup. It's generally a good sign.

The razor will definately pass the HHT and gives consistantly good shaves but I am surprised that I could "grab" a hair and split it down the middle. I've never seen a hair split down the middle. The concept of shredding hairs is a new one for me.. I mean shredding a hair? This is cartoon crazy.

slicing, splitting, shreading....

ya know, all these definitions. I wonder if we're not splitting hairs over it
