- As we've seen from videos posted here and in other threads, in some countries this is used as part of a beauty treatment primarily for exfoliation.
- many threads here in the past have discussed the fallacy that hair grows back thicker/stronger/darker as a result of shaving. It doesn't. SO really, it's not that big a deal.
- who are we to say what's weird when all of my close friends and family think I am completely nuts and strange to use such old dated methods of shaving, to take so long over it, and to be so obsessed with part of my daily ablutions: hones, strops, pastes, and badger hair FFS!
As the best-known signoff on SRP says: have fun! The OP gave a friend a shave which was a good experience for both. He wanted to share that on a friendly forum. I think the jibes were uncalled for.
