Any ideas


*I sharpen all my knives with a smooth file and then hone them on the bottom
of a ceramic mug. Use the file to shape the blade and get the angles right,
then polish all the filing marks out with the bottom of the mug (which is
almost exactly the same grade as a medium ceramic sharpening stone that
you'd pay £'s for)


*I can shave the hairs off my arms with any of my knives.

Do you do underarms?


Not in France by all accounts )
