Been there too many times to count. On the plus side, I've found out that leg hair grows quicker that arm hair.

Hey, at least you have chest hair. All I have is a treasure trail below the navel, at let me tell you, no straight razor is headed that direction

I do not blame you one bit!!!!!!!..... oh and I had chest hair.HA!!

You guys are shaving too much hair. It only takes a little touch to the hair, not a swath....I keep a perpetual bald spot at the crook of my left arm...but that's really it.

I'm pretty sure that learnin how to weld pipe I used the "F" word the most in my life then an old pipeline welder showed me the 5/32 8010 root weld trick on sched. 80 and thicker, faster more better aahhhh.... I'm a totally self tought pipe/struct. welder so I'm not going to let this honing thing get me down I had it perfect the first time I'll get it again.

I worked in the nukes for Bechtel before there were QCs and before the Wackenhut guards. Just drive into the construction parking lot and walk in back in those days. The QCs slow production down so much that having them isn't worth it. Just another contractor to soak up the $. Speaking of schedule 80, here is a "40 hour buckle" from the old days at Turkey Point.

NICE!!! some stainless tubing and twisted tig wire makes for some good buckles!!!!.... Man the QC's are outta there minds on the Chevron off shore oil rigs I work on!!! they inspect tacks now... Tacks!! are you kidding me!! after they look at em I pretty much grind them out. Now we have TSA back ground checks to work out there its all way outta hand!... I really want out of oilfield construction bad but welder pay is insane now I hardly have to go to work for a week to earn a months wage

I may have over exaggerated a bit buuuut my arms are quite hairless. I do a lap or 2 on the hone and check it and again and again.. Im just tryin to keep track of where im at on the sharpness. Im pretty green to the honing of these razors

Too funny! When I first started honing, I was the same way. I would constantly get asked "dude, what the hell happened to your arm hair" Now, I pretty much just check for the bevel set, then once again after finishing, then it's off to shave test it. Though I will admit to still being amazed when it's done just right and going overboard watching the hair jump off my arm and leaving me with random bald spots!
