You know, John, based on my experience with honing on my paddle strop, and looking at the lack of hair on both of my forearms, you might consider holding off on the 'full-on' leg shave, and see if you can talk her into doing the 'honing-test' thing....I mean, heck, based on my forearms, she'll get to where she wants to be....eventually!

"H-o-o-o-n-e-y!!..Come here for a minute!"

Although, my wife wants nothing to do with the idea, and, after my test on his tail, the cat is steering well clear of me, too!

(...now he looks like a big RAT....never liked the damn thing, anyway)
