Popping arm or leg hair versus shaving arm or leg hair
Due to a couple of recent posts I thought it pertinent to mention that testing an edge by popping hair on the arm or leg is done properly by keeping the edge above the hair and lightly brushing against the hair. If the edge is approaching shave ready it will cut or "pop" the hairs readily.
Touching the razor's edge to the skin on the arm or leg and shaving the area is not IMO a true test of a razor's keenness. Again this is in my opinion based on what I have learned on this forum and from practical experience. If anyone has a differing opinion based on their experience please post it.
