talk about a smiling blade!
but i'm not sure i want to use one yet.
Sure, but will it pass the HHT, and at what level? I, II, III, IV or V?
I don't think they really cared about BBS in those days.
While I look at it with a feeling of some trepidation, that's the same feeling that most people have when they look at what we all shave with.
Looks like a first pass WTG.
Notice the towel in the customer's lap just in case he wets himself.
Ok, so what about this?

Would you rehandle, hone it and use it? I would :D
I'm pretty sure that there is the whole reason why there were not many people sporting Brazilians back in the day.

That depends on the place and the day. Complete removal of crotchal hair has been done pretty much forever. The Romans used tweezers, the Persians used a depilatory goop called orpiment which was made partly from arsenic. And in fact, the Brazillian is pretty mellow compared to some traditions. Total hair removal has been considered awesome and hygienic at various times and places.
And yes, I would make scales for that, hone it and shave away.
But only on my face.
Now that looks tough to hone... hey, Lynn! :)
