Able to shave with it? When it runs through your hand with ease? Phil
I let the Warden cut his thumb on mine. True story.
When I run out of hair on my arms I use my legs.
Hard toe boots. If it hurts it's sharp enough. :biglaugh: Sorry just had to say it. I cut paper same for my knives.
Rubber bands.
My upper left leg and left forearm are bald.
Nuff said
Arm hair.
Thumb nail
My right forearm is always hairless!
Thumb nail and hair on arm or leg.
Has to shave hair off my arm or it don't go in the quiver.
I wouldn't want to admit it if I was new to the game, but I have never, ever been able to shave hair off my arm (the industry standard). But, the rubber bands melt, and the animals die.
I wonder, if I got some shaving cream and warm water, would it help?
All the systems wrote above are valid,I use themall,but when they are really sharp you can feel it just skimming over.

:readit: :thumbsup: Dry arm, that is.

IT'S gotta shave hair.
left fore arm is baled, and sticks to my thumb nail.
I test for dullness rather. If it feels dull I sharpen it until doesnt feel dull anymore. I dont think all my blades are at the same sharpness level, but none are dull. Sounds goofy, but thats me!
When I got my flu shot the guy asked if I shaved that spot for the shot. He got a good chuckle when I told him how it gets shaved. Yes, shaves dry hair.
I am a lefty so my right calf and right forearm are bald from Sept till Jan. I shoot 3 blades and have no problem sharpening them with files and leather strop. However, I never was able to get a 2 blade or knife as sharp as I really liked. Yes, they would shave but not the full length of the blade sometimes and also took me lots of time.
Recently Robtattoo was nice enough to let me borrow his KME knife sharpener and I now know what a TRULY sharp knife or 2 blade is. Gutted two deer with Mason's Buck 110 folder and it will still shave ! We open our deer to the neck too so we cut thru cartilage holding the ribs to sternum. I promptly sharpened every knife we had and ordered me a KME !!! One of the most awesome tools on the planet IMHO.
I have no hair left in my arm pits...PR
Glad to hear I'm not the only guy with hair on my right arm only!!!
Let's just say the cat runs when he sees me...haha
I run my thumb across the blade very lightly and if it scares me its sharp enough.

If it shaves, it is sharp. -- But I don't have to shave my whole arm to test 4 or 5 broadheads -- I shave my calf instead ;-)
The shave test has always worked. My calf hair grows back every year.
my boxers and pug and beagles hate me so much....lol
my left arm is missing most of its hair,gotta shave hair.
I want my main blades to shave hair and I use rubber bands to test the sharpness of my bleeder blades.
My left arm is half bare too.
