    Default Would a blade this sharp actually slice off your face?

    Check this out.

    With something THAT sharp, I can imagine what would be typical pressure with a straight would actually remove a layer of skin with the stubble pretty easily...

    All in all it may be an extremely sharp blade, fine for surgical use and cutting, but I doubt the smoothness would be anything to write home about. Personally, I'll stick with tradition

    I don't think you'll have to worry about it as a shaving medium as it's made for commercial cutting use.

    Oh I'm not worried nor am I expecting to shave with such a thing. But it's somewhat a rhetorical question. Many have argued that you should get as sharp a blade as possible and after that it's all technique. This take the sharpness to an extreme and I might contend that it would be possible to shave with TOO sharp of a blade.

    I reckon a blade that sharp and you'd need a lie down after the bay rum. Imagine the cost too, the swear jar would be rammed

    Once you got used to it, it would be like any other.

    it would be more a matter of how comfortable it is.
