Toilet Paper Sharp

[KennyB]

You know, if the brand plays that much of a factor, wouldn't the humidity play a pretty big role too?

Humidity will definitely play a role, I've noticed this when testing fine newsprint or even shaving arm hair.

This was a 2 ply piece, but I split them, and this is the one ply of that piece...

Yeah, well i can use a dull butter knife to split the plys! Great to save money on tp, too. BTW, I still see no purpose in THAT sharp of an edge!!!!!!!!!

The weird thing is, you dont need such a sharp edge to cut a piece of tp. A properly aligned edge say at around 400grit can do it. Ankerson posted a video of him cutting a piece of tp after it was sharpened on a Norton silicone stone.

jimh0220, the trick is to get an edge that will cut the tp and last .

the real question is, can you sharpen a knife so that it can pass these tests? sure people can get their knifes this sharp, the op just wants to know how so he can do it as well.

P.S. I recently found out how big of a difference tp brand makes. unfortunatly for me, humidity where i live is always 60-80%.
