    This ^^^^. Why do you think so many new honers are covered in little bald spots all over?

    With doing my best to learn on my first coticule my left arm is almost bald, time to move to the right soon. My arms will be relieved when I get this thing fully figured out

    I don't have any steady incoming flow of razors, so my razors are all pretty much honed now, and my hair is growing back.

    The first couple of weeks, I was really starting to look like a freak though.

    Free samples.... Mrs. Lovett's Meat Pies?

    Because they want to be Forged in Fire champions? (I've been watching the episodes, and they're constantly doing that, as if a shaving edge is the same as a cutting edge)

    You mean you can't chop dowels or slide through a ham with a straight razor? :)

    I think you probably _could_... Once. Then it'd be good for nothing, especially shaving :)

    True... I have to admit that I recently binge watched "Forged In Fire", so all the tropes keep running through my mind.

    "For today's challenge, you will have to make a straight razor in your signature style using steel from this lawn mower."
