Sharpening and bald spots

[J_mcrane]

Does anyone else look like chemo patient when playing and sharpening their knives?

Sometimes my wife thinks I'm crazy but she puts up with it because her kitchen knives are razor sharp.

Left arm pritty much remains hairless.......and few bald patches on my leg

My left thigh is almost always bald

Both triceps completely bald...finally managed to stop on the legs and forearms because knife-nut mange is not a great look for anyone.

I have patches of hair missing almost everywhere. Mostly from knife sharpening.

Hey Rob...what grit sandpaper are you using here?

My left forearm lives with knife nut mange, but everyone pretty well knows why, and the funny looks have stopped.

I have no idea man. It's a piece of leather with a tiny bit of buffing compound I bought from an automotive spray supplies shop.

Right arm on top left on bottom. I get asked "why not just do them both?" I always know a knife guy when I see only one arm shaved.

If you can't split hairs then your not doing it right.

The bare patches down my left forearm are often referred to in my office as "the little reminders not to annoy the boss" ...
