Now, if you want to impress somebody in the know with your honing skills and good shaving technique, use a 1/8" razor. That's what separates the people with skill from those with nothing more than testosterone.

Fair enough. It seems like they had a good time doing it, judging by the videos.

Imagine a 1/8", that'd be like shaving with a wire.

Lol, it's supposed to be silly, it's just some guys at a forum having fun....
Tom Blodgett in the first video is a very well regarded honer btw.

Man! I was about to give it a go! Mabey NOT!

I draw the line at 2/8" "A man's got to know his limitations"

Did I ever tell you fellas the time I shaved with some piano wire?

And now we return you to your regularly scheduled episode of "Yan Can Shave" LOL

'BTW' nobody disputes that. A couple of years ago he learned how to hone straight razors with the help of this forum.

Jens did say he was coating his fingers with alum to help "grab' the skin for proper stretching....that's kind of a neat idea IMHO

Wow. That's all there is to say is wow. Obviously not practical, more of a circus act, but still pretty crazy.
