My arms are all stubbly.

The curse of the knife knut. Unfortunately, I am not that hirsute which is an advantage in the practice not "showing" much but a disadvantage in the stubble.
At one time, I thought maybe the Italians and Greeks would be the best equipped for this pastime, but now I think they would just look like they had mange.

:D
 
Look on the bright side, we're all probably more aerodynamic...
 
Lavan,

The fact that stubble is growing back on your arms is a serious sign that at least some of your knives have grown dull since you last sharpened them. Best take immediate inventory of them before things really get out of hand :)
 
I like to get my knives to where they top the hairs without removing a noticable portion. Though I do have a few bald spots from my duller knives. :)
 
That's why I started using rabbit pelts. For a few dollars it saves me explaining my sharpening addiction.

I....was.... doing that. But then I progressed to SPLITTING the hairs and they were just too weak to stay in the follicle.

:D When you split them, you have to braid them back together.
 
That's why I always test my knives on my girlfriend's legs ... along with other benefits that kind of activity provides. :)
 
Why not just get an edge tester (Razor Edge Systems, for example) or test on a different material. I find getting an edge to make a clean cut on a thin plastic bag to be a bit more challenging than getting an edge to shave.
 
A friend once asked me, "why is there hardly ever any hair on your right arm?"

My reply, "because I am a left-handed knife knut....."

She thought it was pretty funny! :D
