Hair popping sharp is scary sharp.

Get a strop, or strop block. It's the best finishing tool out there. And virtually foolproof.

My arm hair literally jumps off my arm the minute I pull my knife out.

First of all, let's agree that "Scary Sharp" means dangerously, hair tip cutting (which is sharper than hair popping), sharp.

I was just quoting Ted. I thought of hair popping as scary, myself.

I'm still waiting for the introduction of a light saber.

Now that must be scary sharp.
