Anyone want to try this? Maybe you should use several pieces of flint for a smoother shave?  >:D

Does shaving the flesh off your finger while knapping count?  ???
Everything happens for a reason, sometimes the reason is you made a bad decision.

I think the usual primitive shaving method is to yank all your beard hairs out by the roots with clamshell tweezers.  :o

Progress might have been all right once but it's gone on for far too long.

I knew this one skinhead that never used a razor, to save his head. It was somewhat like a shockingly stupid/ funny party trick. He would wait until we had a big fire going when we were out in the woods. and then he stuck his head in the firelong enough to burn the hair off, then he wrapped a wet towel over his head. He eventually got it down to an art....eventual being the key word
knapp 'um if you got 'um
