I think it's sharp when I can shave the hairs off my arm, others have said that that isn't really sharp,
The sharper it is the quicker it will dull. Take a person with a heavy beard......how many times can he use that razor blade?
The only time you sharpen a knife is when the edge is completely gone other wise you hone it........Does the Barber stop to sharpen his razor while you are on the chair or does he hone it on the strap?........Does a Butcher stop to sharpen his knife while butchering or does he use the Honing Iron?
