I was trying a little shavingsharp edge retention experiment and shaved a patch of hair off my leg,to test my my KA BAR D2 folding hunter.
I applied some shaving gel and the D2 blade sheared loads of hair off my leg,smooth as butter.
then on another part of my calve i used the same shaving gel,but a Coldsteel with AUS 8 bladesteel,and only small amounts of hair were shaved off.
Both blades,D2 and AUS8 have the same factory sharp edge,but i could feel how the harder bladesteel on the D2,just had that extra sharpness,edge retention,giving a smoother shave,no snagging of the blade.
i am quite impressed.
