Thread: Would it be a step too far?

I have seen people shave with knives, spoons, axes, and broken pieces of glass/obsidian. While they may have successfully removed facial hair, it remains to answer, "was it comfortable?"

Just because you can "shave" with something doesn't make it a razor (in my opinion)...

Could you grind that and shave with it? I have zero doubt that I could...but I won't

For me, it comes down to the right tool for the right job... I wouldn't take a straight razor into combat, so why would I want to shave with a Ka-Bar? besides, its not like you need to make shaving with a straight blade MORE manly, its already impressive enough in its own rite...

Hilarious! I have the smaller version of that very knife and was handling it just this evening! Every time I handle it, I wonder the same thing... "Should I hone this puppy?"

I haven't yet, and I probably never will... But it screams to be tried.

I have kitchen knives that, as far as I can tell, are made of the same steel. They do plink hairs, but don't shave. Not remotely. In fact, they are ruining my calibrated HHT

Well, I missed you guys !



AND IT WAS COMFORTABLE I have had many shaves that has been worse. Actually I could have shaved with this many more times. BUT it is so damn big and the risk of cutting my self is way to big.
