Thread: Edge so sharp that you can taste it?

Maybe you are the Michael Jordan of shavers? You need to keep that tongue in your mouth while shaving. I'm not down with that in any event.

Maybe a video is called for.

I think these guys did.

I knew that most of that was coming...

It's odd. Usually connected to weepers or a small cut. Some sort of very minor bloodletting.

It's a 'taste' experience but the blade is never in the vicinity of my tongue.

My hones do not require their own bathroom, thank you very much.

FYI,

Two posts were edited, so there would be a clear understanding on what the opening post was trying to say. I have been involved in this honing journey for 7 years & had never heard of the word used to describe the method in post number 1.

It was not until post #6 that Longhaultanker helped me make that connection to the commonly used term "Translucents".

So please don't see the editing done by me as censorship, as it was not done for that purpose.

Thank you.

The corrected term used in post 1 has been used many times. However, because of its more common definition, I do think it best that we avoid it.

However, I do think we are stuck with BBWs.

I concur, have never had the urge to finish on aforementioned edited word...

given that the body is a complex electrical system and sense of taste is a powerful receiver, it should be of no surprise that we experience odd things from time to time.

Many years ago I would get a series of shots to de-sensitise for poison ivy. Upon receipt of the injection in the arm I would immediately get a strong metallic taste in my mouth. I suspect something was tricking the taste processor in the brain- I dont think the injection could travel instantly from arm to mouth.

In this case, the cheek is a lot closer to the sensor so if forced to give a physicists response I think it possible the information could travel by phonon wave from cheek to sensor. there is so much we dont know....

My middle son is an Advanced EMT and a nuero-ICU nurse and he tells me the same thing happens to patients when they get an IV. He says it's a nuerological response (he says phenomenon) and quite common. It's possible this is what the OP experienced.

LSD can produce this same effect. "Wires" temporarily get crossed in the brain and something like synesthesia is the result.

This thread slays me.

Everytime I see an Arkansas stone referred to as a *word redacted* it becomes awfully tempting to crack the kind of jokes we sling around the shop all day.

And I'm pretty sure God kills a kitten. Think of the kittens!
