Now that I'm well into my new hobby of honing razors and taking the forum's advice to test shave my arms (or my cat, if she'd stay still), family now thinks I have some strange disease in that there are bald splotches on both of my arms. Its been quite humorous in that some family/friends think I've gone off the deep end and want to become a barber. Thats pretty funny in its own right, since I can't see worth a damn, and can hardly move my arms, let alone stand/walk for more than 20 minutes or so. Additionally, the cat stays away from my office nowadays since that's where I keep the honing equipment... I did try to get her to sit still while I tried to shave her tummy a while back. She didn't like it.
