Thread: forearm hairs

I noticed that i have a full stock of body hairs from my elbows to wrists recently. I suppose it's time to put steel back to stones.

Went through a phase of "non-satisfactory" results and hope to get my "edge" back real soon.

(Working new job now life is better, more regular)

Perfect time to take the 1K Shave test http://straightrazorpalace.com/honin...-1k-shave.html

I did and got a BBS and a complete revelation in my honing.

Must be a July-August 2013 membership thing. My arms are back to where they were a year ago.

I recovered from "razor mange" years ago. Haven't had a recurrence. I got to where I can touch the edge of the razor to arm hair and feel whether it will tree top the hairs without actually cutting them. Wade, glad to hear things are looking up for you.

welcome back Wade wondered where you was off to,, yea I ve noticed hair again cause I haven't done much in the way of testing guess my stropping must be alright tc

And so i slapped the "$1 Sheffield Diamond Edge" around on the coti for a little bit, with a few strokes on the chromox and treetopped a few of those numerous arm hairs. (restropped, always have to re-do after any edge test right?)

Shaved like a freshly honed razor it did. Was knocking down a 10-day beard for my high-school reunion (never mind how many years) and damnemdnent if i didn't nick myself on the "offside" chin.

But really, perfect--that way if anyone notices the nick, opens the door to shaving conversation.

Didn't work Saturday night, but has in the past.

Moral of the story: If you're going to nick yourself, wait until a big social...

I rarely nick myself and it had been months since the last nick. Had a funeral to go to last week, and guess what.
