Thread: This new technology could mean the end of hones

This video was linked last week or so, and at that time I was under the impression that it's cutting wire. Anyhow...Yep..I'll stick with straights. If I ever want to quit honing, all I have to do is pay someone else to do it, or stop buying dull razors.

Introducing the new Vertical Parallel Hanging Hair Test [VPHHT ©Cangooner Enterprises 2013]

Depicted in the video above is a blade rated VPHHT 7 (it achieved seven slices before the end went all squiggly). This is en essential test for all vertical shavers who, rather than crudely incidering hairs in dimidium [whacking them in half], slices each hair longitudinally until it is so thin it virtually disappears. Assuming an average beard of 10,000 hairs, this particular blade should yield excellent results with a 70,000-pass shave which, given a three-second pass average, would be complete in approximately 58 hours. Just in time to start all over again.

This is the ideal technique for any misanthropic shaver seeking a tonsorial means of avoiding any and all human contact.

Order yours today!!

As a lover of sharp, I cannot help but enjoy this.

That said, sharper is not always better.

The concept of shave ready really determines the best result in my opinion...I'm not sure sharper = shave readier. However dull = NOT shave ready.

I believe this sort of topic is similar to the polished vs toothy edge debates in circles of knife enthusiasts.

I want one; sign me up now. Super video. Thanks for the look at it.

I am a bit confused,,

What is so "Amazing"


Just Google "hair whittling edge" knife guys have been doing this for years or am I missing something here ?????
