    I pick off single hairs either on my upper arms or on the insides of my forearms where they aren't as noticable. You really only need to cut one at a time to see how the edge is.

    I don't have bald patches on my right forearm...

    I have "hair patches on it" ... I have actual hair on MAYBE 10% of my left forearm... the rest is all either growing fuzz, or shaven away...

    I strop A LOT. And it's fun to test..

    I also have a bald spot on my head (tiny) from doing too many HHT's for poops and giggles...

    Welcome aboard

    I always wonder what you pro's do when it comes to arm hair tests..! Do you have some miracle formula that makes them grow fast enough? Or do you shave the dog when you've run out of arm hair?

    That's how I do it too, the problem comes in when ya get this razor that you just can't believe how well it cut's hair at that level of grit, so YA JUST GOTTA try again and again...

    I just bought a bicycle so the bald extremities will cut down on wind resistance

    Default bald arm=sharp razor---eh maybe

    my wife usually laughs at me, i have so many bald patches. then she complains at night when my arm is around her,and the new growth stubble bothers her skin, so i cant win for losing, but thats ok, my razors are usually sharp enough to shave with, so i can live with her grumbling
