My grandfather was a barber who used straight razors. To test for sharpness, he would "walk" an individual hair through his fingers to find the grain and then slice it (going against the grain) using only the hair's weight.
He used a strop to get the edge.
He passed in "71 so I never saw him do it. I'm gonna try it today and wondered if anyone out there has experience trying this?
