What real men use to shave!
Couldn't resist...
Scroll down...scroll down... Don't try this at home!
YouTube - Shaving with a Japanese Machete
I tried this with several of my sharpest machetes (on my arm) but never on my face. That might change but DON'T try this at home.

I have a machete and a large knife (Busse Fusion Battle Mistress) that are both sharp enough to wipe arm hair off. The Busse, being a chopper, really doesn't need (and shouldn't even have) this kind of edge on it, IMHO, but I wanted to test the edge holding/durability of INFI when taken down so sharp AND at a pretty low angle. (In case you are wondering...it did really damned well, sure. chopping into hard wood with full force blows on a fine edge didn't exactly make it last forwever, but it kept up with any steel I can imagine). I've since pulled the angle back a bit, but still keep it silly sharp. The machete is cheap steel, and I am sure it would not hold that edge for long, but it took an absolutely MOSTROUSLY sharp edge. Comes damned closed to passing the HHT. I imagine I could shave with it. Once.

That vid has so many edit cuts while shaving... he was obviously having problems shaving. Counted 4 edit cuts while shaving not even 3 minutes into before stopped watching. I'll give him props for atleast trying.
